paphio:~/XML -> wc dba100000.xml
800004 1000004 14282040 dba100000.xml
paphio:~/XML -> xmllint --repeat --noout dba100000.xml
and looking in top one can see the memory used doesn't increase.
at the end of the run since it's build with the memory debug code:
paphio:~/XML -> cat .memdump
02:07:03 PM
MEMORY ALLOCATED : 0, MAX was 175216622
BLOCK NUMBER SIZE TYPE
paphio:~/XML ->
No leak, maximum memory used is the same than for a single instance.

do free everything.
