[ looks up 4953... ]  Oh, the contrib/xml2 memory management mess :-(.
Don't hold your breath waiting for a fix for that.  That code is on its
way out anyway, and so nobody seems to be willing to put in the amount
of effort that would be needed to fix it.  I'd recommend migrating to
the core XML support instead.

Ok, sorry for the silly question but is the xml core support=20=20
comparable to contrib/xml2? Is it already there in 8.4 or is scheduled=20=
=20
for 8.5?

Thank you in advance!

It is in 8.4 and is superior to what was supported in contrib/xml2.

It's available in 8.3 and later. The documentation can be found here:

I don=92t see the xslt_process function. Should I process xml outside=20=20
PostgreSQL? Not a big problem but I chose contrib/xml2 for xslt=20=20
processing, too.
