Summary: xpath.Evaluate() fails on larger documents

Initial Comment:
I'm using the xpath.Evaluate() function in a Python
program but xpath.Evaluate() seems to have a bug.  When
using a small test document (10 lines), it get the
right result, but when using a larger document (about
185kB), it returns an empty list instead of the
expected result. In both cases I'm expecting a list
containing a single text node.

The path expression and the relative starting node of
the expression are the same in both cases.

I've attached the test document (test-eval.xml), the
larger document (vb.xml), and a test program
(test-eval.py) which also has the above behaviour as a
single archive xpath-evaluate.tar.gz

Versions:
python 2.4.3
py-xml 0.8.4
