Cocoon setting small buffer size in content stream

[Hugh Field-Richards]

HI

Has anyone had a problem with cocoon chopping up the input content
stream into 32 byte chunks. I have this (and it seems to happen in a fairly
indeterministic way) and it is causing me grief in my custom transformers.
I have checked for obvious things like invisible characters, white-space
or other obvious causes but there is nothing obvious. It also chops up the
incoming stream in the middle of words.

In a short chunk of contiguous character content (about 50 characters long)
it chopped it up into three parts (9, 32 and  9 characters). The split depends
on what has come before. Putting a trace on this it appears to work fine earlier
in a pipeline, but then Cocoon seems to reset the buffer to 32.

The method that is being affected in the transformer is

   public void characters( char[] buffer, int start, int length )
throws SAXException
{
...
}

This is then being called three times in the case above when it should be only
called once. Is there a explicit buffer size that I can set somewhere?

Any help here will be very gratefully received.
