   Your report has no usuful data for us to work on, however
  xmlFreeDoc() is recursive. It will free the whole document. If you
modified incorrectly any part in the document, xmlFreeDoc() will
likely hit it.
   Use a debugger and check where this fails, then check back in your
application where this was modified. If xmllint works on the document
without error then it mean your program is at fault, because xmllint
do call xmlFreeDoc() with the result from parsing.
