Thanks for reporting this problem.

In fact the good solution is probably to use xmlSAXUserParseFile and 
xmlSAXUserParseMemory to create the contexts, and not 
xmlCreateMemoryParserCtxt and xmlCreateFileParserCtxt which are to be used 
only for DOM.

I'll commit a patch by the evening.


Best regards,
