Note that we haven't tested Xerces-C++/XSD on iPhone (either hardware
or simulator). Generally, we recommend that people use XSD/e[1] on
this platform.

If the same code works on other platforms, then this is most likely a
platform-specific issue.

The auto_initializer destructor terminates the Xerces-C++ runtime.
What you may want to try is initialize Xerces-C++ yourself (see, the
'performance' example) and then pass the dont_initialize flag to the
document's parse() function.
