Silently crashes in erroneous select attribute.

           Summary: Silently crashes in erroneous select attribute.
           Product: XalanC
           Version: 1.2.x
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: XalanC
        AssignedTo: xalan-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: chato@chato.cl


The following XSL template causes that "testXSLT" crashes very silently
and without any message (only Abort: core dumped) when the following (erroneous)
template is given:

<xsl:template name="mytemplate">
    <xsl:variable name="myvariable">myvalue</xsl:variable>
    <xsl:value-of select="{$myvariable}"/>
</xsl:template>
Note the "{" and "}" in the select attribute. It's a VERY COMMON MISTAKE
and will be very hard to find because the parser gives no error message.
