I have tried modifying the DOMPrint sample so that it takes the text node, invokes 
XMLString::transcode on it, prints it to cout and then calls XMLString::release. I ran 
it on a Japanese Windows Server 2003, and it works (also using Xerces 2.4). Which 
version of Xerces are you using?

        Key: XERCESC-1290
    Summary: XMLString::release gives strange error when string contains Japanese 
characters
       Type: Bug

     Status: Closed
   Priority: Critical
 Resolution: CANNOT REPRODUCE

    Project: Xerces-C++

Environment: Windows 2000, MSVC7.1, Not multi-threaded.

Description:
My XML file contains a mixture of Japanese and English characters. For example, 
<Vendor>&#28450;&#23383;ABCD&#28450;&#23383;</Vendor>.

I use XMLString::transcode function to convert the above string (a mix of Japanese and 
English) from utf-16 format to utf-8 format. The char buffer allocated by 
XMLString::transcode is then released using the XMLString::release(&char_buffer).

The XMLString::release function gives the following error.

Debug Error!
Damage After Normal Block (#block number) at memory address (some hex address).

It gives you option of Abort, Retry, Ignore. On selecting ignore, the program 
functions as desired.

Thanks
Aditya Kulkarni
