Summary: Fix crash in xmlprase_GetInputContext in pyexpat.c
Initial Comment:
I've run across a couple of cases where pyexpat will crash in
xmlparse_GetInputContext. The problem stems from the 'offset'
variable that can be returned from XML_GetInputContext - if it is
non-zero, then the size being passed into
PyString_FromStringAndSize is incorrectly too large. The offset
should be subtracted from that size.
I cannot provide a test case to reproduce this - my attempts to
create a minimal test case do not crash. The application I'm
developing is using simpleTAL and when a large XML comment
(multiline Javascript) is entered in the software templates it will
often crash. This seems to only occur on a Python installation
where the module xml.sax.saxlib is not present (i.e. PyXML is not
installed) - I'm not sure why this is.
