Connector/C fails to read MariaDB 10.6+ binary logs

I'm using MariaDB Connector/C to 3.3.5 to read binary logs, using mariadb_rpl_fetch(). It works perfectly for MySQL 8.0 and MariaDB 10.5 databases. For MariaDB 10.6 and above, mariadb_rpl_fetch() crashes (!) if the binlog contains XA transactions. Specifically, the function fails when it tries to read event type GTID with contents 'XA START X\'54584e31\',X\'\',1 GTID 0-1-21'

Please advise Thanks
