Possible Bug: ArgumentOutOfRangeException when using xsl:sort and xsl:strip-space has been declared

dotnet xml: I have a scheduled job that uses different XSL templates to transform XML
and save it to disk. I am having problems with the code below. The problem
shows up on both my development machine (Windows XP Pro SP 1, .Net Framework
1.1) and on our production server (Windows 2K SP 4, .Net Framework 1.1). I
have simplified the code and data to isolate the problem. When I use the
xsl:strip-space (Line 12) declaration in conjunction with the xsl:sort
element located on Line 80 I get an ArgumentOutOfRangeException thrown. If I
comment out either line everything works fine. The extra twist is that there
are two xsl:sort elements in the XSL document but only one which causes the
problem. Can anyone tell me what the problem is? Or could someone else
confirm that this is a problem. I would appreciate the help. Thank you.

Regards,
Mark Miller
