Umm, somehow it just escaped my notice, but when you said that I realized
that you're trying to parse a SOAP envelope as a SAML Request. By default, I
don't check the root element since I assume the programmer knows what he's
up to. In this case, you don't, I didn't, and it crashes.

If you turn on the strict-dom-checking parameter, it would bail out at the
top.
