Description:

---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.xml-parser-set-option
---

Short story: since LibXML>2.7.6 larger xml chunks must be explicitly allowed by setting LIBXML_PARSEHUGE for libxml. There is no option to do that with xml_parser_set_option. And believe me, xml_parser indeed chokes on most of what I throw at it.

Please see this discussion at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25042325/sax-parser-php-no-memory-at-line-x .

The version is actually 5.4.33 (the latest available 5.4 branch on Remi's CentOS packages), but from the documentation it's clear that it hasn't been dealt with yet.

Also, bug#65604 https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65604&edit=2 deals with the same source of problem, but there has been no fix as of yet.

Test script:
---------------
not necessary.

Expected result:
----------------
correct XML parsing as before.

Actual result:
--------------
XML error: No memory at line XX (various).

FWIW: it is possible to parse large XML documents in chunks; a
respective example has been added to the manual[1].  With this
technique, processing psd7003.xml[2] worked without problems.
