This won't actually work (not for me anyway). I had wanted to use the
parser in the following manner:

p = XML_ParserCreate(NULL)

do {
 receive(xml)
 XML_Parse(p, xml, xml length, TRUE)
} while(1)

XML_ParserFree(p)

The document i was feeding to XML_Parse was complete, and i'd set the
isFinal param on XML_Parse. But I had the same problem as Thomas, so
ended up creating a new parser for each XML document. it would be nicer
not to have to do this...
