Re: How do you handle shared memory corruption issues? (contrib/xml2)

...As we continue through this process I just want to express my sincere thanks for your suggestions heretofore....

I use neither RedHat nor Fedora :( I also didn't look carefully at the RPMs you were offering me. They are for XML::LibXSLT, not LibXSLT. Sorry about that!

I originally built XML::LibXSLT using CPAN. For argument's sake, I dropped in just the binary from the Fedora Core 6 x86_64 RPM (the rest of the RPM's contents according to diff were identical). It blew up with a Floating Point Error when I ran

#!/usr/bin/perl
use XML::LibXSLT;
use XML::LibXML;
my $parser = XML::LibXML->new();
my $xslt = XML::LibXSLT->new();
my $source = $parser->parse_file('foo.xml');
my $style_doc = $parser->parse_file('bar.xsl');
my $stylesheet = $xslt->parse_stylesheet($style_doc);
my $results = $stylesheet->transform($source);
print $stylesheet->output_string($results);

The auto/XML/LibXSLT/LibXSLT.so library compiled on the machine which it is running should be sufficient, right?
