[Gnash-commit] [bug #32411] ExternalInterface XML parser fails with nested tags

[Nutchanon Wetchasit]

Follow-up Comment #19, bug #32411 (project gnash):

For the crash problem, its backtrace looks like that the crash happened on
browser's object destroying (garbage collection?) process. I also found
that if I left the object parsing code in libgnashplugin working
but refrain from giving the resulting object to browser (give `null`
instead),
the browser _would not crash_.

So this part of the issue could be narrowed down to how libgnashplugin
allocate or manipulate the NPObject, rather than about parsing of XML
content.

Gnash: 0.8.11dev (git e705394 29-Jan-2016) NPAPI
Browser: Iceweasel 10.0.12 (debian)
System: Debian GNU/Linux 7.0 Wheezy i386

P.S. In case anyone want to try reproducing the experiment, see the attached
`plugin-return-null-on-object.patch`. This patch is only for testing
and (intentionally) cause memory leak; apply with care.
