I should have put it more strongly: I think it *should* in fact be 
reverted if nobody has time to fix it before the release candidate / final 
release of 2.5.  The revision in question is the most recent commit to 
sgmllib.py and certainly appears completely localised to that module. 
And a hung interpreter is worse than failing to parse some HTML, IMHO.
