[XML-SIG] sax parser leaks memory?

There is nothing wrong with the script, so there must be a memory leak
somewhere. I did a similar test where I used pyexpat directly:

import pyexpat

while 1:
  p = pyexpat.ParserCreate()
  p.Parse("<doc>This is a little document</doc>", 1)
  del p

and that also leaked memory. (Incidentally, it crashed my Win98 box so
hard I had to physically turn it off and back on again.) So apparently
the leak is in pyexpat somewhere.

I tried running Plumbo on your application, but it couldn't find any
cycles.
