hi,

with bigger files pyexpat begins to split up some 
things parsed through CharacterDataHandler.

c:       "root-menu"
pyexpat: "root-me"
         "nu"

c:       "TopLeft"
pyexpat: "TopL"
         "eft"


that strange results are also reproduseable on 
python2.4

greets

This is not a bug. Instead, applications are expected to be
aware of it, and deal with it accordingly. In general, it is
not possible to provide all character data in a single
callback, since that may exhaust the available address space.

The actual splitting of character data depends on the
internal buffering that Expat performs. If the buffer is
exhausted in the middle of character data, those data are
sent to the application before reading more input.
