class file generated by xsltc is too large to run: java.lang.ClassFormatError

           Summary: class file generated by xsltc is too large to run:
                    java.lang.ClassFormatError
           Product: XalanJ2
           Version: 2.5
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Blocker
          Priority: Other
         Component: org.apache.xalan.xsltc
        AssignedTo: xalan-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: dan_holman@netrefresh.com


There is a master stylesheet that imports other stylesheets and they in turn 
import others and so on for a total of 390 xsl files (there are a large number 
of stylesheets partially because some of the files are duplicated for multiple 
language outputs). Using XSLTC from the command line, a single class file is 
generated without error or warning. It has a size of 1.76 MB.

SHELL SCRIPT USED TO COMPILE:
classpath=lib/xalan.jar:lib/xercesImpl.jar:lib/xml-apis.jar
java -Xmx250MB -classpath $classpath org.apache.xalan.xsltc.cmdline.Compile -x 
xsl/html_master.xsl

However, it won't transform from the command line.

SHELL SCRIPT USED TO TRANSFORM:
classpath=lib/xalan.jar:lib/xercesImpl.jar:lib/xml-apis.jar:class
java -classpath $classpath org.apache.xalan.xsltc.cmdline.Transform $1 
html_master

The following error occurs:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassFormatError: html_master (Code of a

I could send the xsl file bundle upon request. dan_holman@netrefresh.com
