[Vortex] Error parsing vortex channel dtd from compiled code

[Thomas, Dominic]

I've downloaded the vortex 1.0.14 source, and compiled it with axl
0.4.14.

My vortex_init() fails during the parsing of CHANNEL_DTD, with AXL_DEBUG
message:

> Unrecognied attr type declaration found, check your <!ATTLIST
declaration

If it can't parse its own internal DTD, I don't see what I can do about
it. Maybe I've accidentally got the wrong file version or missed a
configuration step or something?

More of the debug messages follow:

The offending section of the DTD being processed looks like this:

<!ENTITY % CHAN       'CDATA'>                            \
<!ENTITY % URI        'CDATA'>                            \
