No stack trace.

I think this is an important bug because Rhino is often used within Xalan, probably more than it's used stand-alone. This is some pretty major breakage.

It would be nice if someone could post to the xalan dev and or user mailing list if this is a know issue and is being worked on.

Just to be clear, downgrading to 1.5R3 fixes this problem. If Xalan needs to change something, please let me know. Thanks.
