Summary: Crash on valid XML

Initial Comment:
There is a bug in xmlproc.py:start_tag.

In particular, 

       self.pos=self.pos+1 # Skips the '<'
       name=self._get_name()
       self.skip_ws()

       ....
       
       if self.data[self.pos]!=">" and
self.data[self.pos]!="/":

This last line may get an IndexError since skip_ws may
have advanced the cursor past the end of the available
data.

The attached patch fixes the problem.
