Apple has shipped outdated system libraries for ages. I have this problem
with libxml2 and libxslt which are just plain buggy on every MacOS system
out there.

BTW, with the latest non-release of a Python 2.3.8 (which would have fixed
a couple of security problems), it's clear that 2.3 is now officially taken
out of maintenance, too.
