Summary: BOM and  ExternalSubset

Initial Comment:

Hello,
Expat parsing failed when the file to parse had an 
external subset starting with a BOM.
Adding the following two lines at the start of 
function externalSubset0 in xmlrole.c fixes the 
problem:

  if (tok == XML_TOK_BOM)
    return XML_ROLE_NONE;

Note: while correcting that problem, I looked in the 
xmlrole.c file the others parts of the code handling 
the XML_TOK_BOM token. I'd like to know the rationale 
for handling it in prolog1 (wouldn't it always be 
handled in prolog0 only?).

It seems this is related to bug # 551852.
In this bug, as well as in patch #551599,
a fix has been proposed as well.
