  libxml2 itself has a memory wrapper
    http://xmlsoft.org/xmlmem.html#Debugging
I would assume xmlsec also use xmlMalloc/xmlFree/xmlRealloc so the same
debugging methods could be used.
Also you're running on windows and I have heard just too many horror stories
at this point due to mismatching between precompiled versions of the Windows 
libraries being used on a different environment and incompatible memory
allocators that I would check that too.
