fgMemoryManager varible being re-initialized

           Summary: fgMemoryManager varible being re-initialized
           Product: XalanC
           Version: 1.6
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: AIX
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: Other
         Component: XalanC
        AssignedTo: xalan-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: phartman@axsone.com


I compiled xerces 2.3 and Xalan 1.6 on AIX 5.2 using g++ 3.3.1

When I run my application with libxerces-c23.0.so and libxalan-c16.so I find 
that the variable fgMemoryManager get re-initialized to null.

Here is a diagram of what is happening in my code.

My main program calls 
void XMLPlatformUtils::Initialize(const char*          const locale
                                , const char*          const nlsHome
                                ,       PanicHandler*  const panicHandler
                                ,       MemoryManager* const memoryManager)

which establishes an address for fgMemoryManager=214739d8 I return out of this 
function back to my main where I test the value of fgMemoryManager and it is 
still set to the same address.

main: fgMemoryManager=214739d8

My main program makes the following call:
stylesheet = processor.processStylesheet(xslFileName, theConstructionContext);

Inside XSLTEngineImpl.cpp
StylesheetRoot*
XSLTEngineImpl::processStylesheet(
            const XalanDOMString&           xsldocURLString,
            StylesheetConstructionContext&  constructionContext)

I print the value of fgMemoryManager and it is now NULL. I can't figure out why 
this is being re-initialized.

To make things more compilcated when I statically link all the xerces/xalan 
*.o's into my main program (remove the shared objects) this variable stays 
initialized and my program appears to work.

Any input regarding this issue would be very much appreciated. If you would 
like to email me directly I can be reached at
