We have a problem with an internal mod_perl2 webapp that uses XML::LibXML.
For some reason it segfaults when we try to save a form with this XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<lom xmlns="http://www.imsglobal.org/xsd/imsmd_v1p2"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.imsglobal.org/xsd/imsmd_v1p2p2.xsd">
<general>
<title>
<langstring lang="nb">Poteten - skadelig eller bra for oss?</langstri
+ng>
<langstring lang="nn">Er poteten skadeleg eller bra for oss?</langstr
+ing>
</title>
</general>
</lom>

I have some problems understanding exactly what to look for from this dump.
Can anyone give me some pointers as to how to understand this one?
I'm not 100% sure it's XML::LibXML that is the culprit, but from the coredump I assume it is.
