XMLPlatformUtils::Initialize sets memory manager before checking whether it's been run 
already

           Summary: XMLPlatformUtils::Initialize sets memory manager before
                    checking whether it's been run already
           Product: Xerces-C++
           Version: 2.3.0
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Utilities
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Before checking whether it's already been run (by checking it's "init count")
Initialize sets the global memory manager, thereby potentially changing the
memory manager during an allocation in another thread, corrupting memory.
The patch inline below fixes the problem (current CVS, PlatformuUtils.cpp)
