I'm not sure if I understand what to do. I'm getting these results:

Without the patch:

./cin -r prova_1.rc [plain text, no xml file]
[...]
** rendered 0 frames in 0.000 secs, 0.000 fps
Session time: 0:00:00
Cpu time: user: 0:00:00.118 sys: 0:00:00.043


./cin -r expanders.txt [plain text, no xml file]
[...]
** rendered 0 frames in 0.000 secs, 0.000 fps
Session time: 0:00:00
Cpu time: user: 0:00:00.111 sys: 0:00:00.034


With the patch:

./cin -r expanders.txt
[...]
Not XML file!
