Hi,

We've encountered a problem trying to use the math:max extension function 
which looks as if it may be a bug, but it could always be us missing 
something obvious.... our observations can be found at the end of the message.

                      *******************************************
Our test.xml file :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<values>
<value>0</value>
<value>-1</value>
</values>

                      *******************************************
Our tester.xsl file :

                      *******************************************
Our observations:
This error seems to only occur if the maximum value is not > 0.

Comments, suggestions about where we may be making wrong assumptions etc 
would be very helpful.

Thanks
