Deleting char* returned from DOMString.transcode() in VC++ 6.0

[Gary Marsh <gm...@goship.com>]

		Hi,

		I am experiencing a problem deleting character pointers
that
		are returned from the xerces library class DOMString via
the 
		transcode() function.  The exact error message from the
debugger
		is a little bit convoluted due to the fact that I also
have the NuMega's 
		DevPartner debug program running in conjunction with
VC++.  Basically
		though they throw an error claiming that I am trying to
delete something
		that was allocated on the heap in another, for lack of a
better definition, "Name Space",
		i.e. your library. 

		I got around the problem by adding a function in the
DOMString class
		that deletes a character pointer passed in the parameter
list.  I don't know if this is 
		just a quark of Microsoft's compiler or the Windows 2000
operating system or the 
		combination of VC++ and NuMega debugging tools but this
seems to have solved
		the problem.

		My code snippet looks something like this:

		==============================
		    	DOM_Node item;
			string nodeName;

			.....(assign the item valid information here)
			.
			.
			char* name =  item.getNodeName().transcode();
			nodeName.assign( name);

			DOMString::transcodeDelete( name );

		==============================

		I declared the function
DOMString::transcodeDelete(char*) is a static public function.
		I used the source from your build on 4-10-2001.  

		I don't know if this is the appropriate fix but it seems
to work and I was able to reduce
		my memory loses without the debugger throwing flags.
