Then it's still different than I thought. If all you change is this line:

   d = dict(node.attrib)

and you get segfaults with this:

   d = dict(node.items())

but not with this:

   d = dict()
   for key in keys:
       d[key] = node.get(key, '´)

I really can't extract anything meaningful from that. The complete valgrind
trace would be helpful.
