If I use an XML Node Iterator on an XPath like /Build/Project it works as expected. If I add a DOCTYPE tag at the beginning of my document to specify an external DTD, the XPath returned is incorrect. The XPath returned is off by one in the index of the root tag.   
  
 I’m attaching a example of this behavior.

Hi Nelson,   
  
 Thanks for reporting this bug (and for providing the example), we’ll have a new test build available soon.
