Details:

Original bug report including patch by the reporter (David Woodhouse):
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1129491

In short:
In pskc_build_xml() a new xmlDoc is built and the old one is freed, but there
are still references into the old xmlDoc.

According to David:
Actually, retaining the original xmldoc seems like a nice and simple approach.
Although it's not as efficient as fixing all the pointers up...

Attached is patch from David retaining the original xmldoc.
