XML SAX parser bug?

Hi,

I think I ran into a bug in the XML SAX parser.

part of my program consist of reading a rather large XML file (about
10Mb) containing a few thousand elements.
I have the following problem. Sometimes that SAX parses misreads a
line.
Let me explain: the XML file contains a few thousand lines like this:
"
<TargetRef>WINOSSPI:Storage@@n91c90a.cmc.com</TargetRef>
"
where 'n91c90a.cmc.com' is the name of a system and thus changes per
system.
I a few cases, the SAX parser misreads the line. The parser sometimes
plits characters the line in:
"WINOSSPI:Storage@@n" and "91c90a.cmc.com".
I put a 'print characters' line in the 'characters' method of the
parser that is how I found out.
It only happens for a few of the thousand lines but you can imagine
that is very annoying.

I checked for errors in the XML file but the file seems ok.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
I am new to Python.

I am using Python 2.4.1, pyWin32 extension 2.4 and PyXML 0.8.4

Any help very much appreciated.
