I doubt that this is the problem.. It was bcos of the TableScanner, Div
Scanner, and Span scanners. I had taken a gamble by putting them in the
current set of registered scanners - there's a lot of dirty html out there
that don't close the div's or span's or table's. Instead of fixing this
issue by adding more code, I want to try refactoring this logic from the
link and form scanners and reuse it.

For now, the above mentioned three scanners are not registered by default
(the page gets parsed just fine after that).
