There is a doubt regarding this bug fix (SVN-3713), in parser.c function
xmlStringLenDecodeEntities has a call to xmlLoadEntity as follows:-
if (ent->content == NULL) {
if (xmlLoadEntityContent(ctxt, ent) < 0) {
}
}
The second if block is empty, if the check is not required then we can
remove the if and call xmlLoadEntityContent directly, otherwise some error
handling is missed out....
Thanks & Regards
