Hello Dan!


I was wonderung if you also call the destroy
method the very first time with no parser
instance existing yet. Since XML_Parser
is a pointer type

   typedef struct XML_ParserStruct *XML_Parser;

a call to xml_parser_destroy on a session
with an uninitialized XML_Parser member would
call free() on a broken pointer. Just an idea.

If that's not the guilty part the only other
thing I can offer you is a workaround calling
XML_ParserReset on the old parser and then
reusing it.

Good luck!
