Summary: memory leak in poolGrow

Initial Comment:
This bug applies at least to 1.95.8, 2.0.0 and 2.0.1

poolGrow in xml.parse.cpp has the following block of code:

  if (pool->blocks && pool->start == pool->blocks->s) {
    int blockSize = (int)(pool->end - pool->start)*2;
    pool->blocks = (BLOCK *)
      pool->mem->realloc_fcn(pool->blocks,
                             (offsetof(BLOCK, s)
                              + blockSize * sizeof(XML_Char)));
    if (pool->blocks == NULL)
