Hi there,
        when parsing a html file from the net, libxml entered an infinite
loop. After tracking down the problem, it seemed that it didn't like the
0x0B caracter in a script definition. I managed to reproduce the bug in a
small test, that is attached.

        I also fixed it by modifying parserInternals.h at line: 41

#define IS_CHAR(c) \
    (((c) == 0x09) || ((c) == 0x0A) || ((c) == 0x0B) || ((c) == 0x0D) ||
\
     (((c) >= 0x20) && ((c) <= 0xD7FF)) || \
     (((c) >= 0xE000) && ((c) <= 0xFFFD)) || \
     (((c) >= 0x10000) && ((c) <= 0x10FFFF)))

I added 0x0B as a CHAR. Still can't figure what is this caracter though.
May be it should simply be ignored.

Regards,
Marc.
