Hello --

I'm on linux, using 11.9 and using

20:59 graydon % java -version

openjdk version "21.0.7" 2025-04-15

OpenJDK Runtime Environment (Red_Hat-21.0.7.0.6-1) (build 21.0.7+6)

OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (Red_Hat-21.0.7.0.6-1) (build 21.0.7+6, mixed mode, sharing)

If I use the basexgui "Create DB" dialog and the internal parser, I can load the whole folder without error; I get the expected DB and the named entities in the content have been resolved. (These are effectively HTML 4 entity names, so that's not completely guaranteeing that the DTD in the DOCTYPE is being found and parsed somewhere.)

If I use the doc() function with an absolute file system path to one of the same files that loaded into the DB just fine, I get an error. I get the same error if I try to switch off the internal parser and set a catalog. It's at least several files in the folder that loads fine as a DB.

All of this works fine with 11.8; whatever changed changed in 11.9.

The error is:

Could not execute XQUERY doc('/home/graydon/GeneralCode/git/cpc-conversion/Chapter/BU4372-14A.xml'):

Improper use? Potential bug? Your feedback is welcome:

I can go on using 11.8 for now, so this is only somewhat alarming rather than completely alarming.
