Likely bug when resolving relative paths for SYSTEM identifiers

["Rathi, Pradeep" <pr...@documentum.com>]

Hi,

If you've the following DOCTYPE declaration 

<!DOCTYPE foo SYSTEM "..\..\..\..\bar.dtd">

in a xml file that is residing at some root level directory i.e. for
instance "C:\", the xerces-j parser (1.3.0) does not terminate. The problem
is most likely that the SYSTEM identifer cannot be resolved i.e. the
relative path of the DTD with respect to "C:\" actually does not exist.
Unfortunately even if you do not want to do validation, the parser still
tries to resolve the path. 

Thanks,
Pradeep
