DOM4J Xpath Truncating Results

Question

We are maintaining an application that heavily relies on DOM4J and Xpath. Once in a while we see a strange behaviors with results of XPath execution via DOM4J: The text result would simply be truncated.

We tried applying the recommendation provided here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[e-mail]/msg02688.html

It seems the problem occurs less frequently but it still manifests itsself. Last time we got it, it was after applying Xpath on a the clone of a document parsed as indicated by the previous link.

This also seems to be similar to the issue mentioned here: Use of text() function when using xPath in dom4j
