What did you do?

Unmarshalled an XML node containing the int value 258387

What did you expect to see?

The string "258387" parsed correctly to it's integer value.

What did you see instead?

When parsing an XML attribute, the xml.Unmarshal method uses a signed 16b int for the destination of ParseInt.
When the parsed integer is > MAX_16 an (expected for the size of dst) error is thrown.
Not sure if this is reproducible every time an int is parsed > MAX_16, rather in my large (40MB) XML file, this is a consistent occurrence with every int.

in xml/read.go:

		itmp, err := strconv.ParseInt(strings.TrimSpace(string(src)), 10, dst.Type().Bits())
		if err != nil {
			return err
		}

the value presented by the debugger during runtime:

dst0.Type():
...
size = 2
align = 2
... trimmed
fieldAlign = 2
...
