Description

There's a bug in the current buffer-size determination of XalanUTF16Writer.hpp in the first if of the write(const value_type*,size_type) function. When this write function is called with a to-be-written string that happens to have a length that is exactly the sizeof kBufferSize (or larger) then our application crashes.
