The variants that fail are all those whose rules are defined by XML files in \
ksudoku/src/shapes — and only those variants. The failure point in KSudoku appears \
to be exactly where it calls the loadCustomShape method in the sudoku::Serializer \
code. See details in  https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=405422#c3

My guess is that some newer version of XML parsing libraries dislikes KSudoku's XML \
files or possibly that some changed XML version or DOCTYPE has got into the act.
