Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Add missing increments of recursion depth counter to XML
 parser.

The functions xmlParserEntityCheck() and xmlParseAttValueComplex() used to call
xmlStringDecodeEntities() in a recursive context without incrementing the
'depth' counter in the parser context. Because of that omission, the parser
failed to detect attribute recursions in certain documents before running out
of stack space.
