Sounds like an outright bug, since out-of-memory faults should stop the
processor.
>Is there a size limit with Xalan processor?
None explicitly defined in current Xalan, though earlier versions did have
limits on maximum document size.
The output document -- unless you're writing to a DOM or similar in-memory
data structure -- should be written out immediately as it is produced, so
it shouldn't impose any significant size limitations.
If this really is a size problem, and it occurs in stand-alone Xalan, it
sounds like a bug. There isn't enough detail in this note to make a good
guess about where the bug might be; I think we'd need a testcase that
allowed us to reproduce it in the lab for analysis.
