Seamoney hangs when the external DTD files do not have doctype declaration
header.

Summary: Parser crashes on External DTDs don't have doctype declaration header → Parser crashes on External DTDs don't have doctype declaration header
hang or crash ? The summary say crash, but the description say hang. Should
this be M7 ?
Tao:  Can we fix the XML/XUL/RDF file instead for M7 and mark this bug M8 ?
Summary: Parser crashes on External DTDs don't have doctype declaration header → Parser hangs on External DTDs don't have doctype declaration header
It hangs instead of crashing. Update the summary. This is not a M7 show
stopper since there is no DTD reference in any of the XUL/RDF files yet.
Hi,Cata:

When feasible, please modify expat's "state machine" to treat external DTDs as
"real" external DTD subset instead of pretending to be an internal subset. The
latter is not XML spec 1.0 conforming nor allow future extension.

If we take James Clark's patch, this bug becomes irrelevant.
