I had found your change in SVN before. I described the whole situation in my mail* from 04/04/2007 05:28PM CEST. I think you must have missed my reply. * http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/2007-April/msg00024.html
No, I had read your reply, but was completely unable to reproduce the problem under what I understood were your conditions. Hence my reference to "the latest SVN", just to assure we are both talking about the same thing. More precisely, I am running under Fedora FC6. I downloaded the latest release from xmlsoft.org (libxml2-2.6.27), then applied the "SUSE patch" which you had previously mentioned, and finally applied a patch created with svn diff -r 3575:3584 xpath.c (and no other changes to the released version). I then used gdb to run the xmllint which was compiled in that manner. My "xml test file" was a file containing "<root/>". The output for that run is attached. I also ran valgrind, and attach the output for that run. As you can see, for both gdb and valgrind there is no error. I'll be happy to help in any way I can, but at the moment I can't imagine where is the difference between our tests that is causing the problem.
