strange segfault

Hello. I'm working on a project that keeps an XML config file in memory, 
so I thought I'd use gdome. Thank you all for making it!

There's some strange behavior, though, in certain cases. It's a library
I'm working on, and fairly robust tests work fine. But when I include the
library in an Apache module, I get a segfault. The backtrace and some
relevant code follows, in case that helps anyone.

After much trial and error, I found that a single, strategically placed
call to gdome_n_nodeName() makes the problem go away. Things seem to be
working now, but...

I have glib-1.2.10, libxml-2.4.19, and gdome-0.7.0.

Thanks again. Cheers!
