Summary: xmlwf: memory demands

Initial Comment:

expat 1.95.5

Running xmlwf against bigger XML files needs almost the
double of the file  size of memory (at the end, the
process size grows permanently during the  processing).
This looks pretty wrong to me, since the tool does SAX
parsing.

Please notice, that this seems to be a problem only
with the xmlwf code, not with the expat lib per se. An
application by me, build on top of expat, doesn't shows
this behavior. Instead, the memory size of the process
stays constant and pretty low, even while parsing big
XML files - which is, what I also would have expected
from the xmlwf tool.
