  strange, the code is the same.

  Well if you want to see where there is a leak, follow the mechanism for
doing so:
  http://xmlsoft.org/xmlmem.html#Debugging
if you can reproduce the leak with xmllint or some of the programs I
provide then give the input used and I will fix it. If not, I assume the
problem is in your code, and the pages gives the informations on how to chase
them down.

  xmllint.c calls xmlCleanupParser(); at the end of the processing and
doesn't report any leak on the existing test suite regressions.
