surely the error message is clear enough there is a syntax error in your
regular expression.

We can't help you as you _still_ haven't shown us what regular
expression you are using.

  The two variables I declare are

  <xsl:variable name="matchTo" select="parent::node()"/>
  <xsl:variable name="matchWith" select="parent::definition"/>


That doesn't help us much as it doesn't tell us what regular expression
that is. or which of the variables you used in the matches function.
Do you really mean those expressions. In both cases the regular
expression will be the string value of the parent of the current node, 
That is, the concatenation of all teh text content of all descendent
elemets of the parent of the current node.
This is likely to be large, I see you get a syntax error on character
625 and unlikely to be a valid regex unless you have a very strange
document.
