Well, I had the same kind of crash in a multithreading environment.

xmlInitParser();
// do stuff
xmlCleanupParser();

This done in two threads parallel killed the one still running when
the other cleaned up.

I moved both calls outside into the main routine. If that's the 
suggested behaviour, it's not that intuitive when you come from
the "for every init an exit call" corner... 8)
Good lucks,
