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.

Here is an update.

the 8.3 version is now working after i reinstalled the OS.

most probably the issue was due to corrupt libxml2.

Thank you so much for all the help to get rid off the issue.

Regards,
Sushil
