  that's way over the acceptable time. There is something wrong, it's impossible
to guess what, but I can't garantee I will have time to go though hundred of
files chasing a bug for you. I suggest you go back to how you made the 
modifications until the bug shows up that would allow to restrain the problem.
I would first also :
   - make sure to use the latest version of libxml2 as you don't specify
     the version used
   - try the transformation on a linux or UNIX box, there is just too many way
     the Windows path/URI conversion can go wrong and fail in subtle ways.
