Re: [xsl] copy-of operation removes spaces at random

[Michael Webster <mwebster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I find that this is not random as it looked at first.

When I use an XML document that has all elements in the problem section 
exactly the same size, the same spaces are removed every 15 elements. 

I had a suspicion that Xalan was coughing on copying large numbers of 
elements, so I tried to break the copy-of operation into smaller bits.  
This resulted in spaces being removed every 111 elements instead of 
every 15.
