  Clearly a bug !

I have fixed it in CVS and added a couple of associated testcases:

http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/cvsquery.cgi?module=libxslt&branch=HEAD&branchtype=match&dir=libxslt&file=&filetype=match&who=veillard&whotype=match&sortby=Date&hours=&date=explicit&mindate=09%2F17%2F01+08%3A51&maxdate=09%2F17%2F01+08%3A53&cvsroot=%2Fcvs%2Fgnome

  thanks for the report, I'm surprized it didn't show up before !
