#85 NegativeArraySizeException in net.sourceforge.saxon:saxon

[Anton Ivashchyk]

Using library net.sourceforge.saxon:saxon:9.1.0.8 we've got following exception:

I've played with class net.sf.saxon.tinytree.TinyTree and there really can be a case when it tries to create an array of bytes with negative size. Is this case known for you and is there any solution to avoid such error?

Please raise Saxon support requests at saxonica.plan.io - we no longer use SourceForge as part of our technical support process. I'm afraid 9.1.0.8 is a very old release and we won't investigate problems unless they occur in a more recent release.
