Summary: XML_ParserCreate_MM and expat 1.95.5

Initial Comment:
This is a problem with the current CVS version of expat.

I see problems in XML_ParserCreate_MM when 
parserInit is called before poolInit initializes tempPool. In 
parseInit, poolCopyString is called using the uninitialized 
variable tempPool, which causes unpredictable results, 
in my case, an access violation. Shouldn't poolInit be 
called before parserInit? Attached is an updated version 
of XML_ParserCreate_MM, which calls poolInit first.
