[XML-SIG] pyxml xml parser error, help needed

[joachim.j.gloger@daimlerchrysler.com]

Hi,

I have a problem. My xml parser crashes. The parser is based on pyXml, =
the=20
latest version. Since I thought that it was my fault I tried to check t=
he xml=20
file which causes the crash with one of the pyxml demo programs 'saxtra=
ce.py'.

But to my surprise, saxtrace did also crash with the same error message=
.=20
Enclosed you find the message. By the way, the crash happens on both Wi=
ndows=20
and Linux. The behaviour is exactly the same. I tried also several vers=
ions of=20
python (2.0 and 2.1) and the last two versions of pyxml, but this makes=
 no=20
difference.

If there is a possibility to give one of the developers the crash causi=
ng xml=20
file, I can do that. Please let me know, if you need this file.

Regards
Joachim Gloger
