Hmmmm okay. Do we know if xsltproc is generating documents for other sparc64 builds, or if we can see the output of the failed command? It may hint as to a problem with the underlying libxml. One other thing I have seen is that xsltproc can use a substantial amount of memory during use - could there be a difference in ulimit setups between the different build hosts? ATB, Mark.
