The referenced XML documents I was loading/processing during operation
of the primary XML document were being cached. Although I only used
each document once within the scope of single template, the XSL
processor in general couldn't know this. I found a reference in the FAQ
with regards to memory problems processing multiple documents and it
showed a mechanism for turning the document caching off. The example is
in the context of the for-each which I didn't have and don't need, but I
couldn't seem to get this to work without it. However, I did
restructure my template to have a for-each (to handle a single document)
and was able to get things to work.
Following is the example code from the FAQ for those interested:
<xsl:template match="doc">
<xsl:for-each select="document(@href)/bar/zulu">
<?xalan-doc-cache-off?>
<!-- process each document -->
<xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

How deep is the recursion in your stylesheet? How many layers of variables
are piling up? How many documents are you referencing (normally, they're
all cached in memory until the transformation ends)?
