Hi, I'm downgrading to important, as the bug only surfaces with one particular RSS feed, and no one objected after my last mail. I'm also cloning this bug to python-feedparser, as that's the point where the problem lies AFAICS. For more background please see my last mail (partially quoted above): http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=374741;msg=57 There was also a testcase attached, which shows the problem. The HTML snippet is taken from Zugschlus' blog, it looks rather broken, but python-feedparser shouldn't just hang (infinite loop AFAICS). I'm cloning this bug instead of just reassigning, because rawdog contains a copy of feedparser.py with some local modifications. That has to be fixed too once the bug is resolved within feedparser. Cheers, Christian Aichinger
