test and variable. LotusXSL crashes. Why?

Hello xsl-list man,

Another technical question from a rookie to experts:

My XSLProcessor (Lotus XSL) goes into infinite loop (nice trace) on this:

   <xsl:variable name="counter" select="count(ELT)"/>
  <xsl:value-of select="$counter"/>
  <xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test="$counter&lt;'1'">

What I am trying to do is simply to test if the number of  ELT is less than 1.

I'd also like to understand why it crashes...

Thank you for your help.

Yann.
