Saxon-specific problems are best reported on the saxon-help list at
SourceForge.

It looks to me as if Saxon9 is simply using a bit more stack space than
earlier releases when executing this particular stylesheet: you were
probably close to the limit before, and have now gone over it. If it runs
when you allocate a bit more stack space, then you seem to have fixed the
problem.

There might be things you can do to reduce the stack space used - for
example, restructuring your code to make it tail-recursive - but it's hard
to advise without seeing the bigger picture.
