[xml] Compression problem I think

["johnsag knology net" <johnsag knology net>]

Here is the situation

I am currently using cygwin with the libxml2-2.4.22(I have tested my 
problem with libxml2-2.6.6 and get the same problem  and gzip1.2.4(I can't 
change this version..hardware uses this version).

There are several C programs using an libxml2-2.4.22 that work fine.  The 
difference from the C programs that work and the one that does not work?.is 
the one the doesn't work using compression.  The last call to the libxml2 
library is xmlSaveFormatFile. The program hangs at this point.  It does not 
return our C program but probably hangs in the libxml2 library. 

What I would like to be able to do:
How do I get in tree.c and do some debugging so I can see where my problem 
starts.
(I have recompiled the libxml2 library with some printf calls in the tree.c 
file and got nothing?not sure of a way of getting in there and finding 
where the problem is)

I am very infamilar with libxml2 I may have overlooks some debugging stuff

I hope I have added enough information

Thanks in advance
