Reverse applying this patch to error.c fixes it :
http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/libxml2/error.c?r1=1.73&r2=1.74 .

I understand this might still be scrollkeeper bug, but since it's unmaintained i
thought it better to file here first.
Comment 1 Egmont Koblinger 2004-10-31 09:54:16 UTC 
Exactly the same problem for me. Scrollkeeper was okay up to libxml 2.6.14,
segfaults with 2.6.15 but the patch above fixes the problem.
Comment 2 Daniel Veillard 2004-10-31 11:02:15 UTC 
It's fixed in CVS and will go in 2.6.16 probably next week.
Grab a snapshot from ftp://xmlsoft.org/ to verify.

Comment 3 Daniel Veillard 2005-01-17 22:47:56 UTC 
 This should be closed by release of libxml2-2.6.17,

   thanks,

Daniel
