[xml] valgrind and xmlNewTextReaderFilename

[Norman Lo <nlo carrastro com>]

Hi,

I am trying to parse an XML file using xmlTextReader interface. Consider 
the following short program:

#include <libxml/xmlreader.h>

int main(){
  xmlTextReaderPtr reader;

  reader = xmlNewTextReaderFilename("./Config Sample.xml");
  xmlFreeTextReader(reader);
}


When I run it against valgrind, I got a bunch memory blocks still 
reachable errors, some of these are listed below.

Am I not using the right exit function to free the memory. Or is it 
expected. I have tried the same program with v2.6.26 and v2.7.8.

Thank you very much in advance.

Norman
