NSXMLParser parsing failure on reuse but no error code

Question

i have 4 NSXMLParser objects.they work fine when i use them for first time but when i use them more than once they fail but return no error code

initialization

 -(void)initParsers
 {
     NSURL* file_url = nil;
        FOR(i,4){       

    file_url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"stack%d",0]ofType:@"xml" inDirectory:@"stackXmls"]];
    stackXmlParser[i] = [[NSXMLParser alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:file_url];
    stackXmlParser[i].delegate = self;
   }   

 }

Parse

BOOL success = [stackXmlParser[currentStack] parse];
if (success)
{
   //Do XML stuff
   ...          
} else {
NSLog(@"Error Error Error!!!");
    NSError *error = [stackXmlParser[currentStack] parserError];
    NSLog(@"Errors with xmlParser: %@  %d", [error localizedDescription], error.code); 
}

OUTPUT

Try using initWithData instead of initWithContentsOfURL

NSXMLParser *parser = [[NSXMLParser alloc]initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:pathToXMLFile]];
NSLog(@"initWithContentsOfURL 1: %s", ([parser parse])?"OK":"Fail");
NSLog(@"initWithContentsOfURL 2: %s", ([parser parse])?"OK":"Fail");
parser = [[NSXMLParser alloc]initWithData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:pathToXMLFile]];
NSLog(@"initWithData 1: %s", ([parser parse])?"OK":"Fail");
NSLog(@"initWithData 2: %s", ([parser parse])?"OK":"Fail");

Output
