XSP errors are fun eh?

Unfortunately I have no idea, since you didn't include code that  
triggers the error, and especially since you now can't repeat the  
error. I suspect it's just some tag being triggered in the wrong  
position - for example <xsp:element/> outside of the user-root element,  
which would probably cause the above nightmarish error. XSP.pm could  
really do with some more error checking in it's code, but most people  
are afraid to touch it (even me, these days ;-)
