[issue6676] expat parser throws Memory Error when parsing multiple files

[David H. Gutteridge]

David H. Gutteridge <dhgutteridge at sympatico.ca> added the comment:

The documentation should definitely be updated to clarify that a parser instance is not reusable with more than one file.  I had a look at the equivalent documentation for Perl and TCL, and Perl's implementation explicitly does not allow attempts to reuse the parser instance (which is clearly noted in the documentation), and TCL's implementation (or one of them, anyway) offers a reset call that explicitly resets the parser in preparation for another file to be submitted.
