Spin off from XPath Generator bug.  When an attribute node is the context node and the XPath says ".", the target node of the XPath should also be the attribute node.  Instead, a NS_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY exception is thrown.

The test is currently in this file, but disabled:
http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsblame.cgi?file=mozilla/extensions/xpath-generator/test/unit/test_bug319768.js&rev=1.1&mark=310-314#310
Could you upload a testcase.
Perhaps tonight.  One thing I forgot to mention, which the link in comment 0 clarifies, is that the attribute has no owner element.  Thus, this really is an edge case.
