[...] Hmm, I just want to make clear that I had problems regarding libxml2, built under the msvc++ GUI; we don't experience problems with the library being built by the official script. We heavily make use of Libxml2 through a Delphi wrapper in a multi-threaded app (an application server), and did not encounter any thread related problems yet. The most cumbersome thing for us was to set up error handler callbacks for each new thread. You don't eventually use xmlCleanupParser() at the wrong place?
