[Expat-discuss] Memory error while using expat

Hello,

I am using expat to parse XML-files in an ansi- C-application on HPUX-11 
machine en GCC built. All XML-files are automatically generated.
With some files my application core-dumps (crash): memory error. I traced 
it back to the function lookup just prior to calling the function hash. 
The pointer to the
string which is argument for hash points to an illegal address (totally 
out of range with respect to the previous addresses used). I have no idea 
why this happens.
I was able to find a containment: increment INIT_SIZE from 64 to 128, but 
I have no guarantee this will work in any future file. 
Any suggestion how to prevent this or why this is happening is welcome !

Kind Regards

Roel
