            Bug fixes:
                  #8  If the parser runs out of memory, make sure its internal
                        state reflects the memory it actually has, not the memory
                        it wanted to have.
                 #11  The default handler wasn't being called when it should for
                        a SYSTEM or PUBLIC doctype if an entity declaration handler
                        was registered.
           #137 #138  Fix a case of mistakenly reported parsing success where
                        XML_StopParser was called from an element handler
                #162  Function XML_ErrorString was returning NULL rather than
                        a message for code XML_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT
                        introduced with release 2.2.1
