  I can see a possibility, for example if xenUnifiedOpen is called
multipl time on the same connection but the first time it exits on
line 332 of xenUnifiedOpen(). That error exit leaves the routine
without deallocating the priv block and conn->privateData is not
set back to NULL.
  Could you put a breakpoint on that line or error a message there
to see if you're going though it,
