Still seems to be failing even with the Expat 2.0 upgrade in
HEAD.

I had recently upgraded to expat 1.95.8, so I was hopeful.
But it still crashed for me on linux.
I did get a better stack trace which allowed me to come up
with a patch that solves the problem and passes all the
tests. The patch seems a bit odd and I think there might be
another problem going on here. It would be great if someone
more familiar with xmlparse could take a look at the patch
and figure out if it's right or not.

Works for me under 2.3.2 (with expat 1.95.6) and 2.4.1 (with
expat 1.95.8).
Try upgrading your expat and see if the problem goes away.

I can reproduce on Linux with current CVS and expat
1.95.5-2. Note the size of the data only needs to be
greater than 1024.
xml = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='iso8859'?><s>%s</s>" %
('a' * 1025)
I am not certain this problem is specific to Python. It
might be down in expat only. Need to investigate further.
