Re: [Fwd: [docbook-apps] fop runs forever on the fo from a simple variablelist]

[Bob Stayton <bobs@sco.com>]

I don't know why it is happening, but I tested your file
with fop.0.20.5rc2 and I can confirm that it does
as you say.  It processes successfully with fop-0.20.4, however,
so I suspect it is a bug in that version. You could submit a
bug report to the fop folks.
