Hmm, I just want to make clear that I had problems regarding libxml2,
built under the msvc++ GUI; we don't experience problems with the
library being built by the official script. We heavily make use of
Libxml2 through a Delphi wrapper in a multi-threaded app (an application
server), and did not encounter any thread related problems yet.
The most cumbersome thing for us was to set up error handler callbacks
for each new thread.
You don't eventually use xmlCleanupParser() at the wrong place?
