Critical Error composing newsletter while pressing Next

[Anonymous]

I’ve now encountered this same fatal error on 2 different WP sites. I set up a new test WP site with nothing else on it and I still get this error:

This is what I get via email from WP:

This is the inline error message after I press the Next button while composing a newletter:

Hi, I see some reports about that error with the PHP XML library, I’ll try to add a check, but it seems to be something related to the PHP version or installation.
Anyway, a check on our code won’t hurt!
