I don't have any suggestions, unfortunately. There's no bug here I'm aware
of, and the assertion looks fine. I would start by using 2.5. Then I'd have
to suggest trying a source jar of Xerces and seeing where the crash exactly
is, and then probably you'd have to munge the SAMLAssertion::fromDOM code to
try and see why it's failing, when there's nothing wrong with it I can see.

All I'm doing is getting a required Attribute node by name and then passing
it back in to set it as an ID, all of which is correct and legal. If it's
failing, Xerces has a bug. It works fine in my test case. You could try
changing the code to call setIdAttributeNS instead of setIdAttributeNode, I
didn't have any strong reason for doing it the way I did. But I think that
will crash too.
