Code illustrating bug.

When parsing very simple xml with one bad entity like:

"<a><b>black &foo; white</b><c>red &amp; green</c></a>"

parser (lxml frontend) created with options:

ns_clean=True,dtd_validation=False,recover=True,remove_pis=True

Clears not only first _bad_ entity, but any other next _valid_ one.

Example python lxml code in attachement.
Comment 1 GNOME Infrastructure Team 2021-07-05 13:26:38 UTC 
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
