libxml memory leaks

I am using libxml2-2.6.26, cross-compiled for an ARM
platform.

I am seeing very severe memory leaks - on the order of 40K
per 
invocation of xmlXPathNewContext (if I read valgrind
correctly...)

I've gone through the code, and I am using

xmlFree(xpathCtx);

paired with every invocation of xmlXPathNewContext.

I can't help but think that I am doing something seriously
wrong....

I am only using three functions that allocate memory in the
following order:

doc = xmlReadFile("file");
xpathCtx = xmlXPathNewContext(doc);
xpathObj =
xmlXPathEvalExpression("expr",xpathCtx);

Is there some special way I need to free these pointers:

I am freeing them in the following order:

xmlFree(xpathCtx);
xmlFree(xpathObj);
xmlFreeDoc(doc);

What am I missing?

(I can provide more info if someone can tell me what options
to throw at 
valgrind...)

Sorry!

That's actually

xmlFree(xpathObj);

xmlFree(xpathCtx);

xmlFreeDoc(doc);

You have to use the proper deallocation routines,
xmlXPathFreeContext,
xmlXPathFreeObject, and xmlFreeDoc in your case.
