sgmllib missing an end tag?

[Chris Curvey]

I hope this doesn't post twice....

Can anyone see why sgmllib would miss the </a> tag just after "Log in" 
in the following HTML fragment?  I've been looking at this so long that 
the characters are starting to swim around....

src="http://chriscurvey.com:8080/curveyConsulting/linkOpaque.gif" alt="" 
title="" height="11" width="6" border="0" />

                 Log in
             </a> <!-- this is the tag that's being missed -->
