Subject:XMLModifier remove all elements of type 'x'

I have the following xml snippet:

    5
    
        
            
                
                    1
                    2
                    5
                
            
            
                
                    1
                    2
                    3
                
            
        
        
            
                
                    1
                    4
                    5
                
            
        
    

I need to remove all elements: 1

I have the following code snippet to remove all of the elements:
            XM.bind(VN); [1]
            AutoPilot ap = new AutoPilot( VN );
            
            // find all note-id elements with a value of
'1'
            String xpath = "//note-id[text()='1']";
            ap.selectXPath( [2] xpath );
            
            int i = -1;
            while ( ( i = ap.evalXPath() [3] ) != -1 ) {
                log.debug( [4] "element/value: " +
VN.toNormalizedString( [5] VN.getCurrentIndex() [6] ) + "/" +
VN.toNormalizedString( [7] VN.getText() [8] ));
                 XM.remove();  [9] 
            }// while

If I just print out the xpath results, the element names and values
are correct.  However, when trying to remove each value, I get the
following error:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: [10] -1

What is the best practice for removing these elements in bulk?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
