Buffer restriction in dom.minidom?

[Oliver Walczak]

Dear list,
In one of my projects i use dom.minidom as XML parser. I recently had a
problem when the value of a text node as a child of an element node was
larger than 1024 characters. It created 2 or more child nodes out of it so i
had to concatenate both items again manually. On another machine it only
created one child node out of the text node as i further expected although
both are running Python 2.2.3 on WinXP.
Does anyone know whats going on there?
Best regards
Oliver
