The Debian folks have their entire source tree indexed and have this search engine for symbols: http://source.debian.net/source/search?n=25&start=0&q=xmlCleanupParser I figure our package set is not that different from theirs, so you might want to have a look on the list of packages that uses that function call. Already on the first page of that output there's fwbuilder, a PAM module and more misusing that function. Oh, and we definitely need a source code indexer for fedora too!
