See feature request <http://bugs.librdf.org/mantis/view.php?id=365>, and Dave's comments below it, for a potential gotcha here.

I've implemented a librdf binding for Racket <http://nxg.me.uk/dist/racket-librdf/>, so I've run into the same GC problems as you are (I suspect) about to run into.

I _believe_ that my code plays nice with the GC.  Possibly, therefore, my wrapper would be of interest to you, even though it's for a different language -- do get in touch if you want to compare notes.

Best wishes,

Norman
