  • xmlparse_clear(self) calls clear_handlers(self, 0)
  • clear_handlers(self, 0) accesses self->itself
  • Therefore xmlparse_clear(self) would be done before XML_ParserFree(self->itself)

I found that the segmentation fault occurs with expat 2.2.0 or earlier.
Null check has been added to 2.2.1.
Since the expat included in this repositry has been updated to 2.4.1, the segmentation fault does not occur with it.
Some tests are failed with ./configure --with-system-expat on CentOS 7, which includes expat 2.1.0.

So this patch might be useful on system which uses old expat...
