We've found a peculiar problem when using the docbook 1.55.0 stylesheets to process 
some XML source for HTML Help output.

When I log onto the Windows 2000 machine, and execute the batch file that calls the 
1.55.0 stylesheets, things work fine.

When a different person logs on to the same machine and executes the SAME batch file, 
the transformation fails completely.  He gets lots of errors, starting with "Error at 
xsl:import on line 6 of file:/c:/Program Files/Saxon/docbook-xsl-1.55.0/html/chunk.xsl:
  Failure reading http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/html/docbook.xsl: 
no more input"

When we execute the batch file that calls the 1.54.1 stylesheets, things work fine no 
matter who is logged on to the machine.

Looking at chunk.xsl in 1.55.0, I noticed that the import statements call out the 
whole http://docbook.blah blah blah, but the chunk.xsl in 1.54.1 uses import statments 
that only refer to the file name (docbook.xsl and chunk-common.xsl).  In fact, if I 
alter the import statments in 1.55.0 chunk.xsl to match the 1.54.1 chunk.xsl, his 
transformation is successful.

So, can anyone tell me why we get different results for the same operation when the 
only difference is our windows logon?  What should I look for in the user profile?  

For now, we're staying with 1.54.1, but I'm concerned we could encounter this problem 
in future releases of the stylesheets.  I'd like to get consistent results, regardless 
of who runs the transformation.

Thanks,
--Trish
