Re: [xml] Access Violation when using TLS

["Oliver Stöneberg" <oliverst online de>]

I tried it again without TLS and with the LIBXML_STATIC_FOR_DLL 
define and it worked. No more crash after FreeLibrary(). But it only 
worked in2.6.0beta6 and not in 2.5.11, guess that's because of those 
older patches, that have just been applied a few days ago. Looking 
forward to the final release to finally get my DLL working 
properly...
It's quite depressing to find out, that hours and hours of trying and 
debugging have been wasted, because it would have never worked, even 
if I set that define I was missing, because that patches were 
missing.

Thanks for your help and information, I guess I will now post less 
useless stuff to the list (hopefully) :)
