Hi,
meinproc4.exe (from KDE on windows) always crashes.
using libxml2-2.7.7
I think I found one problem causing this in
xmlSAX2TextNode
using the xmlDict for short strings and such for
avoiding malloc/free on them. So it sets the
text node content (ret->content) to the string
from that dict.
but later in xmlFreeNode it frees that string
so if a dict entry is used twice it will be
freed twice - this is what actually happens
I can avoid the segfault by disabling the code
in xmlSAX2TextNode() at
if (ctxt->dictNames)
so how would a correct patch look like? put a
flag into the node saying that content must not
be freed when freeing the node and free strings
when they are removed from the dict?
