xml parsing memory leak

[Guest]

In the code below I am trying to read text in an xml file, this works
fine but creates a memory leak of about 400K each time. This code is
called from a loop in a windows service so I can not just terminate the
app to cleanup, any ideas how to free this memory.

xercesc_2_4::ErrorHandler* errHandler = (xercesc_2_4::ErrorHandler*)
new xercesc_2_4::HandlerBase();

parser->setErrorHandler(errHandler);

string metaDataFile = GetMetadataFileName(submissionID);

try
{
parser->parse(metaDataFile.c_str());
}

{
char* message =
xercesc_2_4::XMLString::transcode(toCatch.getMessage());
std::cout << "Exception message is: \n" << message << "\n";
xercesc_2_4::XMLString::release(&message);
delete parser;
