DOMNode::getTextContent() corrupts heap

A few things:

- Sure would be handy if we had a stack trace.
- What compiler version are you using exactly?
- There are lots of poor practices in this code.  They shouldn't contribute to 
this bug, but you're bound to get other bugs this way.  First and foremost, you 
never call XMLPlatformUtils::Terminate().  Second, you have a DOMParser object 
allocated on the stack with the same scope as the call to 
XMLPlatformUtils::Initialize():  this is an excellent way of getting memory 
violations.  Third, you should really check that a node is of an appropriate 
type before calling methods on it.  For instance, the code that gets node names 
should only really be invoked when you know you have an element node; same goes 
with getTextContent(), although again this should not cause severe problems.
