Summary: 1.95.2 Reuses Buffer if isFinal != 0

Initial Comment:
In expat 1.95.2 (the latest version for which a 
FreeBSD package is available), calling 
XML_ParseBuffer() or XML_Parse() with isFinal != 0 
causes the previously-parsed buffer to be parsed, 
at least partially, again.  For example, say that I'm 
sending it chunks of 1024 bytes at a time, and the 
last root tag of my XML file is <test>.  Let's say 
that the last buffer chunk I sent it was as follows:
--
<nodeN>value</nodeN>
<data/>
</test>
--
The next time I call XML_ParseBuffer() or XML_Parse
(), I get the full complement of startElement, 
endElement, and characterData events for 
<nodeN>.  This occurs after I've received the 
<test> endElement event.  Moreover, the error 
occurs whether I send len = 0 to XML_Parse*() or if I 
actually send data to it.

Is this a known bug?  Is it fixed in a newer version?  
I couldn't find any references to it on the bug list, 
open or closed; nor in the CVS log for xmlparser.c.
