OSUnserializeXML error

Hi,

I have a kext that is passed XML data from userland. In the kext, I call
OSUnserializeXML() to recreate the OSObject I need to process the data.

This has all worked fine for awhile now, but in Panther a problem has crept
up. The userland application is passing its entire plist dictionary to the
kext. Most of the settings are relevant to the kext, but some are only
relevant to the app. The app is a Cocoa app.

We've found that if a user conducts certain actions within the application
Cocoa adds this key/value pair to the app plist file:

<key>NSNavBrowserPreferedColumnContentWidth</key>
<real>186</real>

When this key/value pair is present within the data our call to
OSUnserializeXML() fails.

All I have to go on is this information, which led me to the above key/value
pair:

Jan 8 09:27:17 localhost kernel: OSUnserializeXML: parse error near line
349

If I manually delete the pair from the app plist file, everything works
correctly again.

This seems like a bug in the OS, but maybe there's something I don't know
about this. Has anyone else encountered this kind of problem with
OSUnserializeXML()?


Thanks,



Eric Long
