  Hum, so it's simply limited to initialization.
Does xsltproc --help dumps core too ?

  If you didn't configured libxml2 with --with-threads
then that's not an SMP issue. If you did, then it's very
likely to be one because I heard reports of libxml/libxslt
working on AIX before.

  Excellent, if it's not compiler related then this cannot
be too hard !

  Hum, if you configured with --with-threads then something
may be missing from the initialization.
  Are the regression tests (make tests) in libxml2 working ?
or simply is xmllint dying too on any input. The pthread support
has only be tested so far on Linux and Solaris, maybe AIX requires
something special.
