[Xerte] Ongoing Mac Stuff

[Julian Tenney]

I'd prefer to find out why the problem exists first! If it can't be done
then I can think about having it done thorough function calls,

I think I tried once to rewrite Xerte just to load the class and set
location and file via getters and setters and than start the parsing. As
far as I remember it did not work/crashed again. But perhaps you want to
try that, just to make sure it is not the query string?
