Daniel,
I believe you are correct. I found out that our code works with libxml2-2.7.2,
but started to crash in 2.7.3. I traced it down to a small change in
threads.c:921 in 2.7.3:
#elif defined HAVE_PTHREAD_H
if ((libxml_is_threaded) && (pthread_key_delete != NULL))
pthread_key_delete(globalkey);
#endif
If I comment out the pthread_key_delete() call, our crash goes away. For
expediency, I am doing this now. However, we would like to track down why we
are crashing.
Thanks,
-Tom

That's the wrong place to report such problems.
2.6.x releases are rather old and 2.6.12 is very old. I fixed a number of
things in libxml2 since then. If you got troubles, it may be due to a misuse of
the library, compilation problems, or possibly a bug but it's impossible to
tell from your report, and this list ain't the right place for it:
http://xmlsoft.org/bugs.html
In my experience as libxml2 maintainer most of the time when people report
"bugs" appareing in recent libxml2 versions it is that they relied upon broken
behaviour usually not conformant to the specification. Hiding the problem
around by keeping an obsolete version of the library rather than investigating
the problem exposes the user to risk including security ones. If you are
embbeding libxml2 for any shipping product I urge you to actually report the
problem and get it solved instead of hiding this under the carpet by using an
obsolete
libxml2 version,
thanks in advance,
Daniel
