nokogiri sax error handlers get fscked up when using libxml

as demonstrated requiring libxml stuffs up nokogiri's error handlers. this is especially difficult to trace if your application is using nokogiri but one of the plugin uses libxml-ruby. this is not a bug per-se in nokogiri but i would like to see this ironed out or atleast listed as an issue in the documentation.

Oh shit. This sucks. I'm sorry, I'll see what I can do to either circumvent libxml-ruby, or at the very least, document the problem.

Unfortunately there isn't anything I can do about this problem. Libxml-ruby is setting a global C variable when you call that ruby method.

Since I can't stop you from calling that ruby code, there isn't much I can do about this except document the problem.

thanks for looking into it. it's interesting, actually I don't call any method in libxml-ruby, just requiring it causes the problem. i expect some sort of global hook being used by libxml-ruby on being required to be the problem
