XT (incorrectly) allows you to have two different variables both called
"c"; Xalan (correctly) disallows it - though this is a very strange way
to report the error.

The code doesn't do what you think it does, even on XT - the person who
wrote it obviously thought they were incrementing the existing variable,
rather than declaring a new variable.
