libxml2 seems to use a good amount of global memory (as in the cleanup work being done in 
xmlCleanupParser()).  Is there something special that I need to do for this to work in a MT environment?


  Call xmlInitParser() once before starting multithreaded operations.
Call xmlCleanupParser() only once if your program ends up not using the
libxml2 library anymore, in doubt do not call xmlCleanupParser() ever.
  Lots of people are using libxml2 in threaded environments, it should 
work.
