Sebastian Pipping (the Expat maintainer) contacted me to recommend that
we apply the patch on the master branch.
He says that the faulty code path can be reached even when XML_UNICODE
is not defined. Apparently, building with -DXML_UNICODE merely makes it
easier to reach the faulty code.
I think we should take Sebastian's advice. What does everyone think?
