Description:
------------
We are getting not steadily reproducable segmentation fault in this function. From one recursive Call to the other it appears the a NULL-Pointer (in node) is somehow casted to 0xffff0000. We suspect that this might be a casting problem between xmlNodePtr and xmlAttr


/*	destroyref is a bool indicating if all registered objects for nodes 
	within the tree should be destroyed */
static inline void node_list_wrapper_dtor(xmlNodePtr node, int destroyref TSRMLS_DC)
{
	while (node != NULL) {
		node_list_wrapper_dtor(node->children, destroyref TSRMLS_CC);
		switch (node->type) {
			/* Skip property freeing for the following types */
			case XML_ATTRIBUTE_DECL:
			case XML_DTD_NODE:
			case XML_ENTITY_DECL:
			case XML_ATTRIBUTE_NODE:
				break;
			default:
				/*	Attribute Nodes contain accessible children
					Call this function with the propert list
				attr_list_wrapper_dtor(node->properties);  */
				node_list_wrapper_dtor((xmlNodePtr) node->properties, destroyref TSRMLS_CC);
		}

		if (destroyref == 1) {
			node_wrapper_free(node TSRMLS_CC);
		} else {
			node_wrapper_dtor(node);
		}

		node = node->next;
	}
}

The variable node is of tpye xmlNodePtr whereas node->properties is of xmlAttr.

Can this be a big /litte endian problem?

can you provide the dump of the document just prior to the crash?
 [2003-06-17 10:23 UTC] wjs at 42virtual dot com 
This is a dump of the output-document just before the crash:

Can you try it with this patch to domxml: http://www.ctindustries.net/patches/domxml20030617.diff.txt

It needs a lot more testing as I wasnt able to use your scripts, so had to hack them apart a bit to somewhat reproduce the issue.
 [2003-06-17 19:12 UTC] wjs at 42virtual dot com 
The latest fix has been roughly tested and survived about 6000 iterations with our test program.

We will continue testing today CET (daytime) and will give you a feedback by if we find something crashing.

Thanks a lot to rrichards!!!!

The bug seems to be resolved via the patch
The segmentation fault could not be reproduced.
Thanks to all for helping us.
