  Handling entities on top of the SAX interface is hard, I warn against
it on the web page.

You will have to redo or try to reuse most of the existing work done at
this level in libxml, I suggest you look at the existing function used
by default in SAX.c but unfortunately I can't debug your code. Putting
a breakpoint at the SAX callback where your code is called and stepping
from there is the only way to debug this problem. For help on debugging
memory problems see http://xmlsoft.org/xmlmem.html
