I had a hard time reproducing it, too now - the problem seems to be with
empty strings. I did (less may do also):
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" encoding="iso-8859-1"
doctype-system="DLmeta.dtd"/>
<xsl:template match='data'>
<xsl:call-template name='another'>
<xsl:with-param name='datestring'
select='something[@name="date"]'/>
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:call-template name='another'>
<xsl:with-param name='datestring' select='something[@name="none"]'/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name='another'>
<xsl:param name='datestring'/>
<xsl:variable name='s' select='normalize-space(string($datestring))'/>
<xsl:value-of select='$s'/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
with the XML file
<data>
<something name='date'>March 23, 1993</something>
</data>
and it crashes. Removing the call to normalize-space or the second
call-template removes the problem from the above code. I still believe
this is a bug.
