[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #58004] [octave forge] (io) xmlread.m makes Octave crash

[Dennis]

Follow-up Comment #18, bug #58004 (project octave):

Interesting observations Mike. The documentation in the Octave cookbook
(http://wiki.octave.org/Cookbook#Load_XML_files) mentions that there is an
issue with Java to read from other directories than the working directory.
Could that play a role?

I have noticed that xmlread does not work when a variable is passed on to it,
I only get it to work via a file. 

If timing might be the issue, could it be a solution to build a pause into the
xmlread function itself? Obviously, that doesn't improve performance in terms
of speed, but it may resolve stability problems. Would you be willing to test
this by modifying the xmlread.m and repeat the demo test? If this works, it at
least may result in a xmlread version that can be released.
