Saxon 9.0 cause for JVM crash on 64bit?

Hi, we're using Saxon 9.0 for PDF creation (on-the-fly and cached) in a large 64-bit java web application environment with Sun GlassFish 2.1 as application server. We experience a crash of the JVM on the server from time to time and the message in the log files is always the same: [code]Current CompileTask: C2:6007 ! net.sf.saxon.event.ReceivingContentHandler.startElement(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;Lorg/xml/sax/Attributes;)V (638 bytes)[/code] So we're wondering whether there'd be any known problems with Saxon9.0 running on 64bit systems? Should we upgrade to a higher version? Since we're using extensions we would probably go for the EE-version then... Thanks in advance!

I don't recognize this problem, but since it's on the interface between Saxon and the XML parser, one suggestion would be to make sure you are running the Apache Xerces parser rather than the parser that comes with the JDK. The Sun adaptation of the Xerces parser is notoriously buggy. There haven't been many changes to Saxon in this area, so I think that upgrading your Saxon version is unlikely to make a difference, other than perhaps by pure chance. It's odd that this should be an intermittent failure as it's a very commonly used path.
