  Description: ParseXML
  File: ./bbomsbo8.cpp
  Linenum: 1140
  Fatal errors during XML Parse:
  Fatal error: line 89, column 2: Expected comment or processing
     instruction

Fatal error: line 89, column 25: Expected comment or processing
     instruction

with numerous "Fatal error" messages for the same line number.
Problem conclusion
The code that modifies the existing XML for the resource
instance being changed was incorrectly assuming that any line
that begins with a comment has only comments on that line.  In
the failing case, there is no new line character between the
comment portion and the main body (root element) of the original
XML.  As a result, the root element is on the same line as the
comment section and the code assumed it to be part of the
comments and propagated it forward into the modified document.
When the modified root element was added, there were then TWO
root elements, which is not valid.

The code was modified to discard the old XML body whether or not
a new line character exists between the comment section and the
main body/root element.  Also, a new line character will be
added after the comment section in the output XML file even if
one did not previously exist.
