xmlproc.py parse_start_tag() can try to access the

attached.

Thank you Lars for responding. I don't fully understand the
bugreport or your explanation, but I' trust that you know
your stuff so I'll close the report.

That is by design, actually. parse_start_tag, do_parse, 
and parse_end_tag, possibly also the method that parses 
character data all do this. There is code in do_parse to 
catch the generated exceptions and deal with it, since 
accesses outside the buffer will mean that xmlproc is done 
with its current buffer and must wait for more data.

Have you actually run into any problems because of this? 
If so, please report them with sample data that cause them 
to be triggered, but please don't modify the source unless 
you *know* there is a bug.
