[MOBY-dev] XML parsing takes forever

I think that you are right about the parser not going into an infinite loop.
For some reason, the SAX parser seems to be really slow (although, I don't
want to say that until I know for sure).

Hi,

thx for helping to investigate the problem!

I'm pretty sure the parser gets out of it's mess. When you truncate the 
XML file by removing all but a few ElementContainers, it takes awhile, but 
it actually returns without error.

And memory consuption doesn't seem to be a problem either, as mostly 'top' 
reveals that the invoked webservice script uses a steady amount of memory.

thx,
Kenny
