I don't know--I don't run xmllint every day, and I don't know which
version I had when it was still working.

Here's the msg I get when I run 'xmllint --version' on Cygwin:

xmllint: using libxml version 20620
     compiled with: DTDValid FTP HTTP HTML C14N Catalog XPath XPointer
XInclude Iconv Unicode Regexps Automata Schemas Modules

Here's the 'xmllint --version' msg on the FreeBSD system:

xmllint: using libxml version 20619
     compiled with: DTDValid FTP HTTP HTML C14N Catalog XPath XPointer
XInclude Iconv Unicode Regexps Automata Schemas

So it looks like a slightly older version of libxml works OK.

I'm attaching two files: the xsd, and the xml.  I have not tried to
minimize the .xsd file, but the .xml file is pretty much the minimum to
reproduce the error.  The command line is

    xmllint --noout --schema ParadigmDefn.xsd Tmp.xml

Thanks, I'll try that.
