[XeTeX] polyglossia and stringstrings incompatible?

When I compile this with xelatex:

\documentclass{article}
%\usepackage{polyglossia}
\usepackage{stringstrings}
\def\alldigits#1{
   \Treatments{0}{0}{0}{1}{0}{0}
   \substring{#1}{1}{$}
}
\begin{document}
\def\mystring{there are 365 days in the year 2006}
mystring:   \mystring

its digits: \alldigits{\mystring}
\end{document}

I see, in the pdf output, as expected:

mystring: there are 365 days in the year 2006
its digits: 3652006

But when I uncomment line 2 I get an error message:

! Missing control sequence inserted.
<inserted text>
                 \inaccessible
l.12 its digits: \alldigits{\mystring}

?

What's wrong??
