Here is an overview of the issue:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Key: XERCESC-1241
    Summary: XMLFormatter attempts to deallocate unallocated memory
       Type: Bug

     Status: Closed
   Priority: Major
 Resolution: WON'T FIX

    Project: Xerces-C++
 Components: 
             Utilities
   Versions:
             2.5.0

   Assignee: 
   Reporter: D. North

    Created: Thu, 8 Jul 2004 12:57 PM
    Updated: Thu, 8 Jul 2004 2:02 PM
Environment: Not needed

Description:
In line 399 of framework/XMLFormatter.cpp, there is the statement:
  fMemoryManager->deallocate(fAposRef); //delete [] fAposRef;

Unfortunately, in order for this to succeed without sigsegv'ng, fAposRef must be non-null, which is [apparently] possible only if the right stuff has been passed into a call to XMLFormatter::formatBuf(...

Reference XERCESC-71 for a related change in this area.

I can provide sample code that demonstrates the failure if needed.

Regards.
David.
