XsltCompiler.Compile closes the input stream

Hello Michael, I'm using Saxon 9.1.0.3 on .NET When I call XsltCompiler.Compile and
pass a Stream as argument Saxon disposes the stream. I think this is a bug, because
Saxon shouldn't adopt the stream without my permission, what if I want to do further
processing with it? Here's a test: void Saxon_Disposes_Stream_On_Compile() { byte[]
stylesheet = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("<foo
xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'
xsl:version='2.0'><a/></foo>"); Stream
stream = new MemoryStream(); stream.Write(stylesheet, 0, stylesheet.Length);
stream.Position = 0; var compiler = new Saxon.Api.Processor().NewXsltCompiler();
compiler.Compile(stream); try { var length = stream.Length; } catch
(ObjectDisposedException ex) { Debug.Assert(ex == null, "Saxon disposed my
stream!"); } }

Generally Saxon goes to considerable lengths to avoid closing an input stream unless
it created the stream itself, and as far as I can see from code inspection, that's the
case here. This would suggest that it's the XML parser that is closing the stream. (The
parser that's used is the Java parser in the OpenJDK library.) If that's the case
there's not much I can do about it. I can't actually verify this immediately without
doing a diagnostic build.
