Re: executing SELECT xmlelement(name foo); causes "server closed the connection unexpectedly" Error

xmlNewTextWriterMemory might be causing this issue.

I have following details in this regard.

the query works on postgres 8.3 installation on a system with following
libxml2 istalled

libxml2-2.6.26-2.1.2
libxml2-python-2.6.26-2.1.2
libxml2-2.6.26-2.1.2

its a Centos 5.1 environment.

the system on which this issue is appearing has following libxml2 RPMs
installed

libxml2-2.6.26-2.1.2.1
libxml2-python-2.6.26-2.1.2.1
libxml2-2.6.26-2.1.2.1

please note that system where the issue is has libxml2 library with
higher version.

to see if this higher version is causing the issue, i installed these
RPMs on earlier system (where the select query works). the query still
worked.
