Found the code...it is potentially unsafe.  This may be a side effect of 
another underlying bug, but I guess we need to fix this one first.  This is 
patch code for the src distribution of 2.3.1

UNSAFE CODE:
------------
  public String str()
  {      
    String str = m_dtm.getStringValue(m_dtmRoot).toString();

    return (null == str) ? "" : str;
  }

SAFE CODE:
----------
  public String str()
  { 
    XMLString xmlString = m_dtm.getStringValue(m_dtmRoot);
    
    if( xmlString == null )
        return "";
    else
        return xmlString.toString();
  }
