Re: [xml] Segfaults when using xmlBufferDump under WIN32

[Igor Zlatkovic <igor stud fh-frankfurt de>]

Hi,

This usually happens when you use the wrong runtime. Libxml uses msvcrt, at 
least when compiled by the win32/Makefile.*

You must use the /MD switch when you compile the program. If you don't, your 
program will use a different runtime and will crash when libxml's runtime 
tries to access 'stdout' from your program's runtime.

Ciao
