Re: Memory leak in EXPAT?

[Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Nasser,

This is the first time I can remember seeing this problem.

So to reproduce it, I should create an XML document, and parse it 
repeatedly for 13 hours?   Does it matter what is in the document? Do I 
have to make an HTTP request each time, or does just parsing the XML 
sufficient?
