Hi, Not sure if there is a better place to post this. The libxml-ruby mailing list doesn''t have much activity. We are getting occasional errors on our production box, that I can''t duplicate in testing. It''s not even reproducible on the production box with the same inputs, but I''ve managed to track down (via a lot of print statements into the Apache logs) that it is dying during the save of one of our models, and it appears to be during the native memory cleanup of libxml-ruby. The following is appearing in the Apache error.log (we are running Passenger) *** glibc detected *** Rails: /var/www/Liftronic: free(): invalid pointer: 0x0000000008884499 *** ======= Backtrace: ========/lib/libc.so.6[0x2b5e6e225cb8] /lib/libc.so.6(cfree+0x76)[0x2b5e6e228276] /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2(xmlFreeNodeList+0x221)[0x2b5e72f8d411] /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2(xmlFreeNodeList+0x6d)[0x2b5e72f8d25d] /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2(xmlFreeDoc+0xb8)[0x2b5e72f8d0a8] /usr/lib/libruby1.8.so.1.8[0x2b5e6d61ddd2] /usr/lib/libruby1.8.so.1.8(ruby_xmalloc+0x87)[0x2b5e6d61e2b7] /usr/lib/libruby1.8.so.1.8[0x2b5e6d5fae72] /usr/lib/libruby1.8.so.1.8[0x2b5e6d5fdd22] /usr/lib/libruby1.8.so.1.8[0x2b5e6d605f7d] /usr/lib/libruby1.8.so.1.8[0x2b5e6d608b43] /usr/lib/libruby1.8.so.1.8[0x2b5e6d608dfa] /usr/lib/libruby1.8.so.1.8[0x2b5e6d602cf0] The model that is being saved has a one-many relationship with another model which has XML attached to it, which is being processed using libxml, but I can''t see anything wrong in any of that code. We are running libxml-ruby 1.1.3 and 2.6.32.dfsg-5ubuntu4.2 of libxml2, running on Ubuntu 9.04. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed with fixing the issue?

REXML or Nokogiri, there are probably more that you can try. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I might try to switch to Nokogiri, but there is a lot of XML parsing in our app, so changing libs is going to be a big deal.
