nxml-mode in 6th 25.1 pretest: memory leak?

[Joseph Mingrone]

Hi,

I've hit a memory issue a few times.  It appears to be related to nxml-mode.

I start by adding a custom schema locating file to find a compact relax NG 
schema for
DocBook version 5.0.

--------------------
(add-to-list 'rng-schema-locating-files "~/.emacs.d/schema/schemas.xml")

% cat 
<locatingRules xmlns="http://thaiopensource.com/ns/locating-rules/1.0";>
  <documentElement localName="section" typeId="DocBook"/> 
  <documentElement localName="chapter" typeId="DocBook"/>
  <documentElement localName="article" typeId="DocBook"/>
  <documentElement localName="book" typeId="DocBook"/>
  <typeId id="DocBook" uri="/usr/local/share/xml/docbook/5.0/rng/docbook.rnc"/>
</locatingRules>
--------------------

Everything will be fine, then while editing text the problem will be triggered.
Within about one minute Emacs's memory usage will go from something like 150 MB
to several GB, then all swap will be exhausted and the Emacs process will die.

% cat /var/log/messages | grep emacs

This was occurring before I made the change to the indentation code I posted
about earlier.  I haven't filed a bug report yet, because I haven't been able to
figure out an explicit action to trigger it, nor have I been able to trigger it
with Emacs -Q.
