Summary: profiling with xml parsing asserts

Initial Comment:
I'm getting a 'bad call' assertion error when using the
profiler when parsing XML.  (It works ok without the
profiler, and if I don't call SAXparser.parse it
doesn't happen.)

There is another filing on this problem at:

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/xml-sig/2002-April/007632.html

Also, I reproduced this on another FreeBSD box today as
well.

I reproduced this with current CVS Python on Windows; 
see attached traceback.txt, which shows a screen dump of 
the offending <wink> interactive session.

I can't reproduce it with the Python 2.2 that ships with
SuSE 8.0, either.

I can't reproduce the crash, with 2.3a0.

attached is the sample program (which ought to have
indenting preserved!)
