I am able to repro this bug in Gutsy . Please reopen.

opening the file with Gedit never displays anything, Gedit becomes unresponsive, CPU goes to 99%, and after a time I just have to kill gedit.

The problem seems to be the lack of line endings in the file. I can open the file in gedit, only if I first process and save the file using Oxygen XML, which asks me if I want to save it formatted with line endings.

I have a similar but slightly different problem and I am uploading a test file . In my case, the large XML file has \r\n line endings at the beginning, but subsequently the line endings are \n. Gedit opens the file and displays a screenful of text, but then goes into the CPU 99% and unresponsive behavior.

I tried following the instructions at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash but they seem to be for the case of a program crash. In this case, we have to SIGKILL the program, and there is no backtrace after following the instructions. I also tried changing the gdb command to "handle SIGKILL" but it dis n ot produce a backtrace either. Please advise how to get you the info you need.
