Sorry to be getting back so late on this.  I've rebuilt an unmodified
chicken (leaving the parameter limit at 1000), and it seems to work
just fine with version 1.2 of sxml-tools.  Thanks, Felix!

While we're on the subject of XML processing . . .

I notice that sxml-tools doesn't implement the sxml:document procedure
(or at least, I can't find it in any of the XML-related packages).
This seems like a very useful function, because it can handle either
files or URIs.

Is there anything to prevent me from just patching this code in?

And if so, would it be useful to send such a patch to the maintainer
of the sxml-tools package?

Thanks again.

Steve
