Document.importNode bug

We're trying to import an element from one Document into another document
but we're getting a stack overflow error:

Sample code:

    Document document = documentBuilder.newDocument();
    Element eDeptList = (Element)
servletContext.getAttribute(DEPARTMENT_LIST);
    Node newNode = document.importNode(eDeptList, true);

Error:

500 Servlet Exception
java.lang.StackOverflowError

        at com.caucho.xml.QElement.appendChild(QElement.java:215)

        ...... continues on with this message

We've encountered this error using Resin 2.1.0 and 2.1.4. Were using Sun SDK
1.4.0 on Windows 2000. If we do importNode(eDeptList, false) we do not get
the error. Of course we also don't get the results we need :-) Also, we
can create the same error doing eDeptList.cloneNode(true). I haven't had a
chance to get into the code but I assume that importNode is doing a
cloneNode within it so the problem probably lies there. Anyone seen this
problem? Are we doing something wrong or is this a bug?
