Same here. In my code I have a complete pipeline of Castor-XML output ->
xslt -> docbook -> xslt -> fo -> jfor -> .rtf doc. Using Xalan I get those
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsExceptions as well, using both early releases (2.2D11)
and the latest release (2.3.1) of Xalan. Since I started using SAXON those
Exceptions didn't come up again.

I use JDK1.3.1, Windows2000, Saxon 6.5.1, JFor 0.5.5 (CVS), Castor 0.9.3.9
as XML source and Xerces-1.4.4 as the parser.
Like I said, I use some sort of pipeline to connect all XML processes to
each other with SAX ContentHandlers. This gives the best performance, but
this is very hard to trace bugs like this. Now I know it has something to do
with the DocBook stylesheets...

So what are those stylesheets doing if it confuses Xalan so much?
