Problems with XSLT task

[Derek Dees <dj...@mm.com>]

All -

I'm currently having a problem with the XSLT task failing to compile the 
second file in a list. I have several valid XML files (DocBook V4.1.2) that 
I am applying a series of style sheets to. Each document works fine when 
it's the first in the list, but the second document fails and the ant build 
terminates. If I rename the files to re-order the list processed, the new 
first document builds fine, the former now failing.

I have upgraded ant, the style sheets, Xalan, and Xerces to the versions 
documented below, without resolving the issue.

I copied  xercesImpl.jar, xmlParserAPIs.jar, xalan.jar, and xml-apis.jar 
into ant's lib directory and as far as I can tell, each component is being 
correctly called, with old versions archived and removed.

Any suggestions?
