Serious bug in XML parser still open after 4 years?

[Christian d'Heureuse]

In 2008, I have isolated and documented a serious bug in SAXParser. The
bug can be easily reproduced on multiple platforms and leads to data
corruption, e.g. when importing a database dump from an XML file.

This bug seems to be fixed in newer Xerces versions, but JDK 7 still
includes Xerces 2.7.1., which dates from 2005.

I looked through the descriptions of the OpenJDK mailing lists at
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo, but could not find a
mailing list for XML problems. What can be done to get this bug fixed?
