Xalan causes a fatal error when processing DocBook

I was able to solve the problem with some error checking.  This doesn't really
get at WHY getString was being called with a negative number, but at least
I don't get a fatal error anymore.

public String getString(int start, int length)
  {
    if (length<0){
      return "";
    } else if (start<0) {
      return "";
    } else {
      return getString(new StringBuffer(length), start >>> m_chunkBits,
                      start & m_chunkMask, length).toString();
    }
  }
