[XML-SIG] possible bug in DOM

I'd say it is rather unlikely that the DOM implementation
"hangs". There is a slight chance that you run into an expensive
algorithm, so I'd propose to let it sit for a day or so to support the
theory that it hangs. It may also be that it is running out of memory,
and that Windows starts thrashing.

If you can, it would be quite useful if you could attach with a C
debugger to a debug build of Python, to see what it does when it
appears to hang. If that is not possible, pressing Ctrl-C when Python
runs in a cmd.exe might give a useful backtrace if you manage to
interrupt Python that way.
