I saw this as well using Xalan-C 1.11/Xerces-C 3.1.1/ICU 53.1. For me crash happens in XalanDOM/XalanDOMString.cpp in the two constructors that have const XalanDOMChar* theString as the first argument. See lines 74 and 91 in source.
Solution for me was to modify my copy of the Xalan lib. For each constructor, change this: if (*theString != 0) to this: if (theString != 0 && *theString != 0) J.

In my case it was because of incorrect xsl but I haven't spent any time to narrow down specifics.

I then tried the Xalan program that is built as part of the Xalan package. When I run the command line program Xalan I get a segmentation fault: Xalan test.xml test.xsl The data files are attached. I am building and running these components on 32-bit RedHat 4: ICU 53.1 Xerces-c 3.1.1 Xalan-c 1.11 Has anyone seen the Xalan command line program crash like this? Has Xalan been tested on Red Hat 4 when built using ICU? Thanks. -- "Charlie, what are you thinking about?" "I'm thinking about what I want and what I need." "What do you need?"
