I went back and reinstalled everything again, I must have installed it 
incorrectly the first time because I hadn't been getting OutOfMemory 
errors from FOP before, but now I am.  Looks like increasing the memory 
limit to 2GB allowed FOP to work correctly for the one that I wanted to 
build for (instrusive), 512MB failed.

It appears that FOP 0.94 has a problem with code sections that are 
longer than a page, as it overflows the bottom and cuts it off. Go 
figure. See http://www.virtualroadside.com/stuff/intrusive.pdf , page 33 
for an example of what I'm talking about. :)
