Re your question in the subject: Yes, I do this from time to
time. Though, not on 64-bit.

The critical bit information here is: you're on a 64-bit
plattform. Everything below is relevant only for 64-bit.

That is inside the expat code (the used underlying XML parser), which
is used unmodified by tDOM. I know for sure, that the expat code works
well on 64-bit plattforms (at least if compiled with the right
options). I'll look into this and, if I think the warning is serious,
will raise an error against the expat project.

Hmmm. That looks like the source of the test suite failures, you
report below. I haven't a 64-bit box at hand, to do tests.

From looking at the code, the patch, posted by kunkee58 (see
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/tdom/message/1365?l=1) addresses
exactly this problem.

If you could try this and report, that would be great.

Just ignore this one.

They all look like to be triggered by the problem you reported under
2. If I'm right, then only reading of external entities (like, e.g.,
an external DTD) and the -channel option is affected. Everything else
should work just fine.

Though, that problem need to be fixed. (Not at least because for xslt
processing it is somewhat common, to request external entities.) If
you could confirm, that kunkee58s proposal fixes this problem for you,
I'll change the code along that line at the place of 2. and look at
one or two other places, which I think may need a simliar change.
