Hi All,

We are using number() in our XSL Transformation,

number() in Xpath overflows for the numeric value "1000000000.000000000"
to "-844674407.3709551" in Linux environment.
1000000000.000000000 : Fails
1000000000.00000000  : Works

The xsl file is,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";><xsl:template
match="/">
  <xml>
  <body>
    <table border="1">
    <tr bgcolor="#9acd32">
      <th align="left">Price</th>
    </tr>
    <xsl:for-each select="catalog/cd">
    <tr>
      <td><xsl:value-of
select="(number(normalize-space(1000000000.000000000)))"/></td>
    </tr>
    </xsl:for-each>
    </table>
  </body>
  </xml>
</xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet>

And the xml file is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<catalog>
  <cd>
    <title>Empire Burlesque</title>
    <artist>Bob Dylan</artist>
    <country>USA</country>
    <company>Columbia</company>
    <price>1000000000.000000000</price>
    <year>1985</year>
  </cd>
</catalog>

Thanks,
Vishwa
