Maximum number of xml nodes in document?

Question

i have the following XML Structure (for example)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<node attr="first">
  <node attr="n1">
    <text>..</text>
  </node>
  <node attr="m1">
    <text>..</text>
  </node>
  <node attr="m1">
    <text>..</text>
  </node>
</node>

In my XSL transformation i try to apply a template like <xsl:apply-templates/> and give the matched node with the attribute 'n1'.

<xsl:variable name="xmlFile" select="example-file.xml"/>
<xsl:variable name="ctrl" select="document($xmlFile)/node/node[@attr='n1']"/>

<xsl:apply-templates mode="foo" select="$ctrl">
  <xsl:with-param name="bar" select="//someNode"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>

That works fine if my XML document have a maximum number of 4388 XML nodes (with attribute 'm1'). But it does not work if the number of XML nodes (with attribute 'm1') are higher than 4390 nodes.

Is there a limit of xml nodes to use apply-templates like in my example?
