Yes, which does inspire a reasonable (if ugly) workaround:

Bock % cat /tmp/foo.slax
version 1.2;

match / {
    mvar $working = true();

    <op-script-results> {
        while ($working) {
            set $working = false();
            terminate "doa";
        }
    }
}
Bock % slaxproc -E -g /tmp/foo.slax
doa
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<op-script-results/>
Bock %

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
 Phil
