Translet Stability Issue

I am having some stability problems with translets. On approxamitly 50%
of the translations I receive an error that I know is bogus.  The other 50%
of the time it works fine.  Any suggestions or fixes?

I am using the Xalan 2.4.1

I have precompiled my XSLs into class files using the following:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
java org.apache.xalan.xsltc.cmdline.Compile -d translets -p
com.websterbank.translets <xslfile>

The latest error is
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
         The element type "br" must be terminated by the matching end-tag
"</br>".

I execute the translets with the following code:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
public class PageBuilder { 

        TransformerFactory tFactory;
        boolean                    useTranslet ;
        
        public PageBuilder() {
                super();
                
System.setProperty("javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory","org.apache.xalan.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl");
                Log.write ( "PageBuilder.constructor: Factory" ) ;
                tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
                cache = new Hashtable();
                useTranslet = true ;
        }
        
        public void handle (PrintWriter out, String stylesheet, Document
doc) {
