I'm attaching a patch to DviServerUpnp.cpp and DviServerUpnp.h to fix this.

Thanks for providing a fix as well as such a comprehensive report - its very much appreciated. I'll try to get this integrated tomorrow.

It might take me slightly longer to get this integrated. To aid native embedded clients with tight memory budgets, device stack code is often stricter than control point code about use of dynamic allocation. This means that patterns which are suitable for control point development aren't always appropriate on device side.

I'd like to find a way to implement this functionality without the dynamic per-action allocation. Its not immediately obvious how to do this so it might take me a couple of days to work through.
