[Bug classpath/24496] New: XML Parser fails to handle a Properties XML file

[gnu_andrew at member dot fsf dot org]

The output from java.util.Properties in XML format references the following
DTD:

<!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd";>

The javadoc claims that 'the system URI
(http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd) is not accessed when exporting or
importing properties', and indeed our parser falls over on it.  However, it
still attempts to handle this file even when setValidating is called with a
false value.

The DTD begins with comments followed by a <?xml declaration.  If these are
removed, leaving only the core DTD, the parsing takes place fine.
