> Prevent error recursion crashes when encoding conversion fails (Tom)
</P
><P
> This change extends fixes made in the last two minor releases for
related failure scenarios. The previous fixes were narrowly tailored
for the original problem reports, but we have now recognized that
<SPAN
CLASS="emphasis"
><I
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>any</I
></SPAN
> error thrown by an encoding conversion function could
potentially lead to infinite recursion while trying to report the
error. The solution therefore is to disable translation and encoding
conversion and report the plain-ASCII form of any error message,
if we find we have gotten into a recursive error reporting situation.

> Disallow <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>CREATE CONVERSION</TT

The previous change is a backstop to guard against other kinds of
failures in the same area.

> Fix <CODE
CLASS="FUNCTION"

necessary, and to make a saner attempt at it when necessary (Andrew)
</P
><P
> The SQL standard suggests that <CODE
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>xpath</CODE
> should work on data
that is a document fragment, but <SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>libxml</SPAN
> doesn't support
that, and indeed it's not clear that this is sensible according to the
XPath standard. <CODE
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>xpath</CODE
> attempted to work around this
mismatch by modifying both the data and the path expression, but the
modification was buggy and could cause valid searches to fail. Now,
<CODE
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>xpath</CODE
> checks whether the data is in fact a well-formed
document, and if so invokes <SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>libxml</SPAN
> with no change to the
data or path expression. Otherwise, a different modification method
that is somewhat less likely to fail is used.

therefore be viewed as a band-aid to keep from breaking existing

marked as owned by that someone. This caused no immediate problems,
