Oops. I'll try again without the GPG...

I've been using axkit for a few months, generally with good
success. However, I have recently come across an intermittent problem
with it failing to correctly apply an xslt stylesheet correctly -
sometimes it works perfectly, other times the same xml source will go
through the same xslt, but will simply miss out a big chunk of the
expected ouput. The resulting html is still perfectly valid - it is
simply missing a big chunk (always the same big chunk). 

I'm not sure how this is even theoretically possible (if it was going
to fail, I would expect it to fail completely, or to sometimes fail in
other ways by missing other bits out of the output...), so I'm not
sure what is relevant to tracking the problem down. I have noticed
that it only occasionally happens on an old slow server, whereas it
almost always happens on a fast new one (both running Debian sarge, so
no different versions involved).

You can see the symptoms by comparing
  http://www.cs.le.ac.uk/ (generally OK, since I've been making sure a
                           good version of the page ends up in the
                           cache) 
with
  http://mcs3.mcs.le.ac.uk:8100/  (missing left hand nav-bar)

I'm hoping that somebody can suggest where I should start looking.
