[xml] Need help: My program trying to free

["Jones, Mark A (Mark)" <jones lucent com>]

Hi,

I'm getting a core dump after calling xmlFreeTextReader(reader).  Has anyone seen a problem like this before? 
 I show the piece of code that is dropping the core along with a few stack frames (gdb) from the core file.   
Any insight would be much appreciated.

Thanx,

M. Jones

reader = xmlReaderForMemory (buf, size, NULL, NULL, 0);                                              
if (reader != NULL)                                    
{                                                      
    ret = xmlTextReaderRead(reader);                   
    element_type type;                                 
                                                       
    while (ret == 1)                                   
    {

Well what possibly could be in the code of a DLL that would prevent it from
being loaded into memory using LoadLibrary[Ex].  The dependencies, for one.
Perhaps the newer libxml2 is being built linked against a required library
that isn't present.  Perform a

 dumpbin /imports libxml2.dll

and compare the libraries it imports with the old working dll.
