  ah another one :) thanks ! Patch looks good, pushed

  It's actually hard to exercise that code as it requires the memory
  debugging which is usually not activated, you need to configure
with --with-mem-debug to activate that code, but then the resulting
libraries can only be used for debug, as free() instead of xmlFree()
or related libxml2 routines will lead to crash.

  That code helped finding a lot of leaks and memory issues
a decade ago :)
