Summary: parser fails on long non-ascii lines if coding declared

Initial Comment:
python version: 2.3.5, 2.3.3
os: windows 2000 sp4

Parser fails to read .py file and does one of 
1. SyntaxError with broken traceback
2. MemoryError (without traceback)
3. Crush with Access violation 
4. Sometimes there is no fail at all and code imported ok

Requirements to reproduce

1. Coding must be defined like 

# -*- coding: Cp1251 -*-

if coding not declared it is all ok except warning (pep-
0263).

2. File must have at list one long line (about longer than 
256 characters) containing characters with ordinals > 
128.

3. Some luck, because sometimes there is no crush.

attached parseError.py does MemoryError
