I'm using python 2.3.3.

I note that bug 699079, which addresses this same issue, was closed
as "not a bug".  As far as I can tell the current behavior of
HTMLParser, unlike what was reported in that bug report, is to
silently stop parsing.  This is a problem, as it took me quite a
while to track down why my application wasn't working, whereas if
an exception had been generated I'd have figured it out right quick.

If it's going to stop parsing when the error occurs, then I'd much
rather it generate an exception.  I can always trap the exception
if I want to keep going.  Since it apparently used to work that
way, I'm hoping maybe a quick poke through CVS by someone knowledgeable
with the code can restore the excption behavior, pending a more
satisfactory resolution to the problem.
