After fixing problems with garbage collection, other memory errors are trivial, even if they take a while. This time I used xmlXPathConvertString, which frees its argument. I must read documentation more attentive. What I need is xmlXPathCastToString.

I was near starting to fix a “bug”. Fortunately, I asked myself: “is it really a bug, or is it misunderstanding of the specification?” That’s saved me a time. Actually, all works correct and error is in tests.

On the 1st April (fool’s day; in our culture a day for jokes) I got a letter from a customer with a specification and the words: “take some time to do it”. Unintentional joke of “take some time” is that I have finished coding only now, 7 June.
