Comment 3 Daniel Veillard 2005-12-09 15:45:05 UTC 
XSD support was highly experimental at the time of 2.6.16,
recent release from xmlsoft.org should just work, for example
2.6.22 , it doesn't crash on this input. If you really rely on
XSD, then you should really track upstream releases.
XSD is never activated by libxml2 default processing, so even
though the crash is annoying, I don't think it can lead to a 
security risk.
