Dear Daniel,

Honestly, I spent no time to check my problems with libxml2 in the bug list
properly
and found the only close topic in
<http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/2007-February/msg00064.html>
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/2007-February/msg00064.html.

Let me shortly explain the problem. Look, please, at the code sequence
starting from xmlReadFile:

xmlReadFile  
    xmlCreateURLParserCtxt
        xmlNewParserCtxt
            xmlInitParserCtxt
                xmlDefaultSAXHandlerInit
    xmlDoRead
        xmlParseDocument
            xmlInitParser
                xmlInitThreads
                    InitializeCriticalSection(&cleanup_helpers_cs)
                xmlDefaultSAXHandlerInit
...etc...
 
Thus, there are two calls of xmlDefaultSAXHandlerInit causing in its turn:
 
xmlDefaultSAXHandlerInit 
    __htmlDefaultSAXHandler
        xmlGetGlobalState
            EnterCriticalSection(&cleanup_helpers_cs)
 
under condition of not main thread. That is the first call of
xmlDefaultSAXHandlerInit can access the critical section
with no initializing it while the second one is ok.
 
I followed the simple instruction for 2.6.27 Windows version and preserved
the default values for cscript-ing configure.js
(compiler=msvc, threads=native) with no trying, sorry, to investigate how
macros were set. My library build crashed 
in multithreading environment until I made workaround threads=no.
 
Regards, Vlad
