RE:  number() in Xpath overflows in Linux
This issue is product-specific. First find out which XSLT processor you are
using. This is much more likely to be of relevance than your choice of
operating system. If you aren't sure, use the function
system-property('xsl:vendor') to find out. Then raise the issue with the
suppliers of that processor.
