According to Red Hat's CVS, the only difference between 2.1.2 and
2.1.2.1 is addition of a patch to fix UTF-8 decoding problem
CVE-2007-6284.  I looked at the patch and it is nowhere near
xmlNewTextWriterMemory.

Perhaps you have a corrupted download of that RPM?  In any case
it's out of date (latest Red Hat release is 2.6.26-2.1.9) so an
update wouldn't be a bad idea.
