Serious, unpredictable bug in Xalan-C-1.0

[Gerard Flynn <ge...@free.fr>]

Hello,

    We have begun using Xalan-C for document processing for the kUML
project (http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/kuml).  In doing so we have
run  across the following bug which is currently forcing us to use
Xalan-C-0.40.

    The enclosed attachments includes the files example.xml, example.dtd
and example.xsl.  This is the simplest test case I've found which
reproduces the following bug with Xalan-C-1.0 :  Xalan-C-0.40 did not do
this.  The bug is unpredictable in the sense that minor changes
to the DTD can cause it to appear or disappear.

    >testXSLT -in example.xml -xsl example.xsl

========= Parsing example.xsl ==========
Parse of example.xsl took 10 milliseconds
========= Parsing example.xml ==========

Fatal Error at (file example.dtd, line 15, char2): An exception occured!
Type:IllegalArgumentException, Message:String pool id was not legal
XSL Error: Could not parse example.xml document!

XSLException Type is : XSLTProcessorException
Message is : Could not parse example.xml document!
