  I guess Mike was speaking about the above template, matching the
source document node, not about this.

  What when you keep just that in your stylesheet:

    <xsl:template match="test">
      <xsl:value-of select="contains(., $somevariable)"/>
    </xsl:template>

  And with that:

    <xsl:template match="/">
      <!-- "*", not "." -->
      <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="test">
      <xsl:value-of select="contains(., $somevariable)"/>
    </xsl:template>

  And finally, what are the exact symptoms?  Does Firefox respond?  Or
does he go in an infinite recursion?  What are all the error and
marning messages?
