Yeah, I saw the failure with indri this morning while screening the
buildfarm, and was going to send a message about that. Backpatching
65c5864d7 would be the right answer to that, agreed, and that should
be rather straight-forward.

Note however the presence of xml_is_well_formed in the back-branches,
where there is an extra xmlParseMemory that needs to be switched to
xmlReadMemory but that's a simple switch.

Would you prefer if I do it?
