[xsl] RuntimeException : Programmers's assertion from xsl transform

["Simon Kelly" <kelly@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I am getting a run time error from an xsl transform, but I don't have a clue
what this means. Any help would be greatfully recieved. I've included part
of the code where I think the problem may lie.

"java.lang.RuntimeException: Programmer's assertion in getNextStepPos:
unknown stepType: -1"

Cheers

Simon
