Some reason this didn't apply clean for me.

As I understand the latest reply on the bug

http://code.google.com/p/feedparser/issues/detail?id=128#c8

upstream wants a feed example to reproduce this.  Can you provide one?

Also, could you check if the just added feedparser-4.2_pre316 ebuild still has this problem?  Thanks!

I'm not using this any more so I can't really say one way or another.

Please test dev-python/feedparser-5.0.1.
