"http://exslt.org/sets" distinct() returns STRING instead of NodeSet

           Summary: "http://exslt.org/sets" distinct() returns STRING
                    instead of NodeSet
           Product: XalanJ2
           Version: 2.5
          Platform: Sun
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: Other
         Component: org.apache.xalan.extensions
        AssignedTo: xalan-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: kgignatyev@yahoo.com


Such a template is not working with Xalan-j-2_5_1 but works fine with Xalan that
comes with J2sdk1.4.2_01 

Placing 2.5.1 xalan.jar into /endorsed directory causes exception:

Unknown file:0:0: Fatal Error! Can not convert #STRING to a NodeList!
