Test case:

doc.xml
--- cut ---
<a>
a text
<b>
b text
</b>
</a>
--- cut ---

rootstar-bug.xsl
--- cut ---
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
version="1.0">

<xsl:template match="/*">
  <xsl:value-of select="." />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="/">
  <root>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="a/b" />
  </root>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*">
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
--- cut ---

Result:

$ xsltproc rootstar-bug.xsl doc.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
b text
^^^ a/b is not root element, must not match /* but *, therefore no text 
node output
</root>


This bug seems to have appeared after 1.0.0 (this is version 1.0.3), or I 
would have noticed it.  I'm looking at the source[*] of the problem right 
now, but I figured if you hear about it you will beat me to it :)


[*] In libxslt/pattern.c, line 384, should that not be:
(node->type == XML_DOCB_DOCUMENT_NODE) ?
Also I notice in some other places in the file there is no equivalent 
check for the XML_DOCB_DOCUMENT_NODE (e.g. line 758).  Are these bugs?
