htmllib.HTMLParser.anchorlist is cleared when
__init__() is called but not when reset() is called. 
Processing more than one document with the same
instance accumulates anchors from all documents
processed in the list.

Arguably a feature not a bug, but it makes sense for
reset to clear whatever is initialized by __init__.

Here is an illustrative IDLE session:

(Intel)] on win32

>>> import htmllib

>>> p = htmllib.HTMLParser(formatter.NullFormatter())
>>> p.feed('<a href="http://www.python.org">Python</a>')
>>> p.anchorlist

>>> p.reset()
>>> p.feed('<a

>>> p.anchorlist
['http://www.python.org', 'http://sourceforge.net/']
