Hi Marc, Thanks for the pointer. Fortunately I don't have this problem. Probably 2GB of memory are enough to parse 20MB file even with this space leak. HXML still works better than the other libraries and has a nice API so I use it. The patch is useful but it is not applied. I also did some other changes in HXML. It seems like the library is not maintained. Should I package it and upload to Hackage?
