Memory error when freeing string returned by XMLString::transcode

           Summary: Memory error when freeing string returned by
                    XMLString::transcode
           Product: Xerces-C++
           Version: 1.4
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: DOM
        AssignedTo: xerces-c-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: rajuwork@yahoo.com


XMLString::transcode returns a char * which according to the doc is supposed to
be  freed. I put the necessary frees in the code.

As the application code grew, at some point I got a segmentation fault.
I ran the application under "valgrind" and found that the there was a problem
with the free.

1  char *data = XMLString::transcode(xmldata);
2  free(data);

valgrind reports a mismatched free for line 2.
I got rid of the frees and valgrind did not report a memory leak

Thanks
