That does look suspicious.

The script is just using normal Python libraries (including "xml.sax"). 
The present build of LibXML2 isn't involved at all. This seems like a 
Python bug.

If I invoke the script on Linux, running the interpreter through Valgrind, 
I see what appear to be numerous double-frees and other memory-handling 
errors. I don't know if this is out of the ordinary for the standard 
Python interpreter, however.

At any rate, I can fix the tarball so that this script doesn't need to be 
invoked in the course of a normal build.
