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.

Well, it's a bit late for the release candidate :-) but I agree - if it can't be fixed before 2.5 final, it should be reverted.
