I've just committed a better fix that should get *all* of the
boundary conditions.  Basically, if it finds an & in the last
6 chars, it reads a char at a time until it either reads a ;
or it reads 6 chars.  Thus, the boundary will always fall
at the end of an entity of 6 chars or less.  I tested it with
a file with 1000 bad characters in a row and it didn't puke.

Tweaked and committed.
