  I made what seem the clean fix of the root evaluation problem.
It was just not done at the right places.
It also fixes the problem that Bjorn Reese raised Fri, 20 Oct 2000:

~/XML -> ./testXPath 'string(//title)'
Object is a string : Welcome to Gnome
~/XML -> ./testXPath --expr 'string(//title)'
Object is a string : Welcome to Gnome
~/XML -> ./testXPath --expr 'concat(string(//title),"hello")'
Object is a string : Welcome to Gnomehello
~/XML -> ./testXPath --expr 'concat("hello",string(//title))'
Object is a string : helloWelcome to Gnome
~/XML -> ./testXPath 'local-name(/EXAMPLE)'
Object is a string : EXAMPLE
~/XML -> ./testXPath --expr 'local-name(/EXAMPLE)'
Object is a string : EXAMPLE
~/XML ->

    patch enclosed. There is still a couple of errors I'm chasing down
but no more related to root evaluation.
