Bug Description
When webdav request contain an xml body this xml string is parsed using a xmllib based xml parser. This xmlparser leaks one instance of the parsed xml file for each request. This leads to MemoryError when having lots of such requests. I wasnt able to track this down inside the webdav.xmltools module so i rewrote the parser using minidom and published a monkey patch product. Get the file either from http://

Looks like a candidate for Zope 2.8. I have some fear
putting this untested into Zope 2.7.
