I don't use windows, but from the past discussions, I believe this to
be exact and the problem faced by the person reporting the crash. FILE *
seems to be completely incompatible between versions of runtimes if they
are not 100% the same. To me this is a bug in the ABI garantees of the
Windows compilers and absolutely not a libxml2 problem.
Solution is to recompile libxml2 with your compiler and flags or avoid
any API using FILE *.
