Hi, I'm using the XML package to scrape data and I'm trying to figure out how to eliminate the memory leak I'm currently experiencing. In the searches I've done, it sounds like the existence of the leak is fairly well known. What isn't as clear is exactly how to solve it.

Dear David, Thank you very much. You have solved my problem, not of importing in the right format but the date conversion. It works for me, and if I specify the timezone tz='GMT', I get exactly the same time of the webpage.
