[gme-users] Too many passes while parsing XML file error

[Kevin Smyth]

Yes, this only happens when there is a circular reference. For example,
if you have a subtype, then move the archetype into the subtype, there
is a circular reference. Or if a set has a reference member that
references the set. Or a simple circular reference chain.

Unfortunately, due to the design of the xme parser, the only way to
determine what is happening is with a debugger.

First, let me check with sponsors before attaching the model. ;-)

That could be possible. It would be great if GME would report why it is
going though 100+ phases in the parsing. I have never seen it go over 3,
even for large models. :-)

Thanks,
