Can REXML handle long XML

[listrecv]

I have a long chunk of XML - about 32k. REXML:ocument.new(x) gives
me an "<UNDEFINED>". Yet I double checked the xml in a validator (by
File.write x into a file, and then loading it), and it validates fine.

Any ideas?

That's just what a REXML:ocument object returns when you call
#inspect.

require 'rexml/document'
xml =<<EOS
<node>
<xml>test</xml>
<ignore>blah</ignore>
</node>
EOS
doc = REXML:ocument.new(xml)
p doc # -> <UNDEFINED> ... </>
puts doc # -> the xml...
puts REXML::XPath.match( doc, "//node/xml" ) # -> <xml>test</xml>

Definitely not the length. I used REXML to load a 500K one-line (no CRs)
MS Project export, with no problems.
