  in general no, the malloc routines may have been redefined
and this may lead to a crash. I think this may also give troubles on
Windows, in general it makes the code less portable. This may work
in most case but I remember it was giving troubles on some
Windows setups for example.

  Better to use xmlFree() in general,
