Bug#568607: libxml-libxml-perl: memory leak / segmentation fault

Package: libxml-libxml-perl
Version: 1.70.ds-1
Severity: important
I have a script that uses XML::LibXML that takes more and more memory
and ends up with a segmentation fault (before the memory is exhausted,
though).
Note: I have the same memory leak problem under Mac OS X (with
perl 5.8 -- so, perl 5.10 is not the cause) without the segmentation
fault, while I had no such problems in the past.
If this is not a known bug, I'll have do to more tests, but it will be
a bit difficult to produce a simple testcase.
