Can't free memory allocated by DOMString::transcode

           Summary: Can't free memory allocated by DOMString::transcode
           Product: Xerces-C++
           Version: 1.4
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: DOM
        AssignedTo: xerces-c-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jeliyesil@askjeeves.com


According to the comments in the header file, the caller owns the char * array 
that is returned from transcode, and should delete it.  We were leaking memory 
on every call to transcode, so we have tried deleting the char * pointer 
returned from transcode, but the delete results in an exception with the 
following stack:
NTDLL! 77f762e8()
NTDLL! 77f83274()
KERNEL32! 77f12e2e()
_CrtIsValidHeapPointer(const void * 0x01709fb0) line 1606
_free_dbg_lk(void * 0x01709fb0, int 1) line 1011 + 9 bytes
_free_dbg(void * 0x01709fb0, int 1) line 970 + 13 bytes
free(void * 0x01709fb0) line 926 + 11 bytes
operator delete(void * 0x01709fb0) line 7 + 9 bytes

Here is the code that we are executing:
    char *p = start.getNodeName().transcode();
    string name = p;
    bool bMatch = (name == firstFind);
    if (p) 
       delete [] p;
