Description

When processing the test case ibm09v05.xml, Xerces-J passes the data form the
comment to the characters method:

That is the output looks like this

This is a test of My Name is first , last , middle and my age is 21 testing
entity value with combination reference Again first , last , middle first ,
last , middle and my status is \n\t\tfreshman freshman and first , last , middle
21 first , last , middle freshman That is all.</characters>

The text, "testing entity value with combination reference" comes from the
preceding comment.

This bug does not appear when the document is parsed in isolation. It seems to
require parser reuse. I am not yet sure which other document in the test suite
kicks the parser into the incorrect state whihc is then exposed on parsing a
later document.
