It fails because the minimum heap size switch is "Xms" not xss... (and
I think the default is 1m anyway)

Also, setting that switch wouldn't make any difference because that is
the amount of memory the JVM grabs at startup - it will continue to
use more memory until it hits the value specified by the Xmx switch.

I'm afraid I can't help with the main problem of stack overflow, other
than to try using Java 1.6 and/or Saxon as the schema processor
(assuming your regex was good)
