Ah.. I just noticed they relased a new patch to valgrind(2.1.2) grabbed
that and it no longer reports a leak on that call in  libxml2. So
chances are it was just a bug with valgrind in this case.

Am I correct to asume I do not need to call xmlFreeDoc on the xmlDocPtr
that xmlParseFile returns?


 Wrong. you need to. All examples on-line does this, and your new valgrind
is just broken.
