+Subject: [PATCH 147/192] Disallow deep or widely nested entity references.
+
+Nested references with a depth of 2 or greater will fail. References
+that partially expand to greater than 1024 characters will also fail.

+Subject: [PATCH 162/192] Fully expand entities to ensure deep or widely nested
+ ones fail parsing
+
+With 512a1ce0698d370c313bb561bbf078935fa0342e, we failed when parsing
+entities whose partially expanded size was greater than 1024
+characters. That was not enough, so now we fully expand all entities.
