Extraction from log with error trace

I have an application which includes saxon6.5.5.jar into its WEB-INF/lib directory which seems to be causing the exception specified as soon as I start the Tomcat.

The OS is Win7x64, Tomcat only has default webapps and no additional configuration.

That looks like a similar issue to https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29936.

Please note that I can't just upgrade the saxon library as this is an old application for which we still providing the support.

Strangely enough running the exact same app on the Tomcat 5.5.15 (although WinXPx32) seems to be working without problems.

The trace from the log is attached.
