String indexoutof range exception

[Gerry McDonough]

When transforming a Document with fairly large text nodes, between 30K and 40K,  Xalan 
throws an exception with the message "javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: String 
index out of range: -40640".  I think it is a function of the size, as I have not seen 
the error since reducing the size of input that forms the text nodes.  Are there known 
size/transformation issues with Xalan?  Has anyone else encountered this behavior?

Thanks, Gerry
