Yes and no.

Probably issue it related to different msvc runtimes as is reported 
crash in xmlOutputBufferClose.

This is well documented in MSDN - file and memory operations must use 
API from same shared library(DLL). As example lets DLL is linked to msvc 
runtime version A and application is linked to version B. In this case 
application cannot perform IO operation on file stream(FILE*) returned 
by DLL and vice versa - DLL cannot perform IO operation on file stream 
opened by application.

May if you application use libxml IO callbacks you issue will be 
resolved on windows where OS lack standard C runtime.
