[XML-SIG] elementtree crash

[mf at mails]

elementtree (version of june 18th, 2004) crashes in a reproducable way
in Python 2.3.4. Unfortunately, it crashes on both Windows and Linux
with the same messages

Sequence index out of range: list index out of range

Traceback (innermost last):

 Here's a copy of the file used (comes from effbot.org

 # elementtree-example-1.py

from elementtree.ElementTree import Element, SubElement, dump
window = Element("window")
#title = SubElement(window, "title", font="large")
#title.text = "A sample text window"
#text = SubElement(window, "text", wrap="word")
#box = SubElement(window, "buttonbox")
#SubElement(box, "button").text = "OK"
#SubElement(box, "button").text = "Cancel"
dump(window)

The linux installation is clean, new system (Linux Suse
9.1), new Python installation, new elementtree and new wingide2.0:
