Description Travis Cobbs 2013-04-18 00:05:13 UTC 
Calling xmlStrcat() causes the first argument to be either destroyed or reallocated. In either case, it's not acceptable to free that variable after the call, but this is not mentioned in the documentation. The documentation for xmlStrncat() gives the proper information. As far as I can tell, xmlStrcat() often calls xmlStrncat().
