Saxon 6.5.2 -- big table conversion to html -- size limits?

["Jakob" <jakob@jfix.com>]

Hi,

I am having trouble converting a big, but simple table
(1724 rows, five columns, no spanning) to HTML using Saxon
6.5.2.

I receive a java.lang.StackOverflowError.

For testing purposes: I had to reduce the table to a
maximum of 227 rows, before this error stopped occurring.

I am using the the docbook XSL stylesheets v. 1.61.0

Is this a problem with Saxon?  Or is this a stylesheet
restriction?  Have other people had similar experiences?

On a related note: Are there ways to convert such a big
table in _chunks_?

If it helps understanding the problem, the table can be
found here http://jakob.free.fr/table.xml.zip.

cheers,
Jakob.
