FWIW, I added some classes that should be used in place of this approach
that make the code a bit shorter, and also insure that the Xerces "release"
method is used to free the results. Technically, relying on delete[] in the
auto_ptr destructor is improper.

It looks like this:

auto_ptr_XMLCh nombre("nombre");

Your code looked ok to me...could you provide a stack trace of the crash? On
Windows this is pretty easy, but assuming you're on Unix, configure with
--enable-debug and then use gdb and it should stop in your sample program
and indicate something.
