Glad to hear it!

Is there a problem with the way it's handled in PyXML?  The recent
releases have used Expat 1.95.2, and I'm not aware of any problems
with that.  Have I missed a bug report on PyXML?  Or Python 2.3, which
uses the same approach as PyXML.  I know there aren't any relevant
reports against Expat itself.

What platforms have you had problems with?  We've seen no reports
about problems related to this.  Please be specific, and we can
consider changing things if needed.
