Earl, i don't know if this is related, but at Apache Forrest we
have troubles in a certain situation. The newest Resolver works
fine on Windows when we use it with Xerces via Apache Cocoon,
but fails when we use it via Apache Ant.
Last time i looked, none of our Windows developers have yet
found time to take it up with the Ant project.
Here is my reply to Norman Walsh on this commons-dev list:

which also links to an issue report.
When i investigated that issue i found that Ant had some
strange code for Windows path handling in the "xmlcatalog" task.
It seemed to be a workaround for problems with Resolver.
After Norm fixed it here at Apache XML Commons, perhaps the
workaround in Ant now fails.
Dunno.
