Summary: parser module bug for nested try...except statements

Initial Comment:
The following block of source code causes an exception 
when tried to parse, listify and restoring an ast 
object:

source = """
try:
    try:
        TRY_BLOCK
    except EXC1:
        EXC_BLOCK1
    except EXC2:
        EXC_BLOCK1
except EXC3:
    FIN_BLOCK
"""

import parser
stlist = parser.suite(source).tolist()  # o.k.
parser.sequence2st(stlist)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
ParserError: Expected node type 297, got -31392.

The node value -31392 is at random and not 
reproducable. 

The problem does not occur when only one except branch 
in the inner try is used:

source = """
try:
    try:
        TRY_BLOCK
    except EXC1:
        EXC_BLOCK1
except EXC3:
    FIN_BLOCK
"""

import parser
stlist = parser.suite(source).tolist()  # o.k.
parser.sequence2st(stlist) # o.k.

It also doesn't occur for an outer finally-clause 
instead of an except clause.

The problem is reproducable for Python 2.5

I can reproduce this with the 2.5.0 release, but not with
the latest 2.5 SVN or the 2.6 SVN.
Closing as outdated.
