First of all, we never patch existing releases -- the overhead required
is too great.
I don't fully understand this, but ok, if this is your policy. But a note about
it would be *very* welcome.
I'm not sure why you can't access the Jira repository, as I'm not having
any problems. The defect you're looking for is here:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANC-591
this link is OK, but link on http://xml.apache.org/xalan-c/whatsnew.html#bugs is
pointing to http://nagoya.apache.org/jira
for the trunk. You might also be able to apply the patch right from the
Jira issue, although I'm not sure if there were any intervening changes
to the affected files:
