Re: [xsl] Problem with using xsl:variable within a template in XSL1.0

["Gareth Howells" <subscriptions@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The problem was down to the code that was in the for-each loop accessing a 
variable which wasn't visible to the template that replaced the loop.

As a side note, we've been getting some rather interesting stack traces 
today though - 84 students on the module, all trying to test their solutions 
before submitting, on a dedicated Debian server running Tomcat and basically 
nothing else, with 16GB of RAM. And we got out of memory errors ;)
