Segmentation fault when parsing Document created from scratch

[Steve Kotsopoulos]

I'm using Xerces-C version 1.0.1 15-Dec-99 under RedHat Linux 6.1
with g++ (egcs-2.91.66).

I'm trying to build documents by hand, not by reading an XML file.
I haven't been able to find any examples of the correct way of doing this,
but here's what I have right now:

        DOM_Document doc = DOM_Document::createDocument();
        DOM_Element del  = doc.createElement(DOMString("name"));
        DOM_Element tag1 = doc.createElement(DOMString("foo"));
        DOM_Text    val1 = doc.createTextNode(DOMString("bar"));
        doc.appendChild(del);
        del.appendChild(tag1);
        tag1.appendChild(val1);

The idea is to build an XML document something like this:

        <name>
                <foo>bar</foo>
        </name>

When I create a document with the above, and then pass it to code
based on the DOMPrint parsing example, I'm seeing a segmentation fault
in DOM_Node::getNodeName() of libxerces-c1_0.so
when my parsing code starts with:

        char    *nname = node.getNodeName().transcode();
        char    *nvalue = node.getNodeValue().transcode();

I suspect that I might not be building my document correctly,
is this the case? If so, what is the correct way to do it?

Thanks
