Ok, I tuned the xslt stylesheet a bit and now I only get the first two libfo-CRITICAL
errors (warnings). However, xmlroff still segfaults:

0x005a291a in fo_area_size_request_default (child=0x9458540) at fo-area.c:2063

(the rhs 'return_child' is 0x0, and so dereferencing next_part crashes the application)

Let me know if I should mail you the full stack trace.
