After searching for the reason of mysterious memory troubles in my application, I found out that this bug was the case for them.

I understand that it seems to be an upstream problem which can`t be fixed by the lxml team. I nevertheless would have a suggestion to prevent others from going through my trouble:

Would it be possible to add a prominent warning like this to https://lxml.de/xpathxslt.html#xslt:

"WARNING: Due to a bug in libxslt the usage of <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/> in an XSLT stylesheets leads to crashes/memory failures. For details see: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxslt/-/issues/14"

This would have definitely helped me a lot, as I followed the instructions there very closely.
