Summary: cryptic err when xml PI has no encoding pseudo-attr

Details: test.xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE a [
<!ELEMENT a (#PCDATA|b)*>
<!ELEMENT b EMPTY>
<!ENTITY eee SYSTEM "eee.xml">
]>
<a>&eee;</a>

eee.xml:

Tested with XML::Parser perl module. See

Matt Sergeant resolved my problem (pointed to the missing encoding in <?xml
...?>) and suggested I post this here, which I gladly do.

I can't reproduce any errors from those two files in current CVS.  What
exactly did you do to generate the error?
