  For values of -f such as 10,15,18  there is no problem. The binary can be made
  using the file at http://monetdb.cwi.nl/xml/Assets/unix.c

+ I reproduced this.
+ 
+ The problem is the input file is more than 2^31 bytes long.
+ 
+ The offset (XMLEntityReader.fCurrentOffset) hence wraps around to a negative 
+ number.
+ Shortly after xerces falls over in
+ org.apache.xerces.utils.UTF8DataChunk.addSymbol
+ 
+ I don't know what should be done. I would guess this is a WONTFIX, but the 
+ error messages could be improved. Difficult to choose best place to catch it 
+ though; I would assume that a minor change in the file would cause the sympton 
+ (i.e. the exact place things go wrong) to be very different.
+ 
+ The value of the argument offset to UTF8DataChunk.addSymbol when it crashes is
+ -2147483551, there have been numerous calls to addSymbol with very large values 
+ of offset near Integer.MAX_VALUE.
