	Indeed, I get segfaults too - but as an example, a previous post on 
this list from someone new to libxml had this:


delete( buffer );

xmlFreeNodeList( cur );

xmlFreeDoc( doc );

xmlCleanupParser();

xmlCleanupGlobals();


	See the entry 'xmlFreeNodeList' - that's one example why I think the 
'xmlFreeDoc' documentation should point out that *all* linked nodes, 
including those newly created, are freed from memory.
