[jdom-interest] problem with detaching Attributes in JDOM Beta 8, Release Candidate #1 ???

[Jason Hunter]

Please do two things.

First, run without the JIT so we can see line numbers in the trace.

Second, try to get this down to a reproducible test case.  It's always
easier to know you fixed something when you can see it break beforehand.
