This problem seems to have 'gone away' when I did a hand-install of
Zope 2.5.0b3; it now parses larger documents just fine again. Perhaps
there are some flakey code still in Expat that I hadn't reconfigured
or recompiled or something.

Okay, it didn't become tomorrow, but I've yanked a Python 2.1.2 from
CVS and I've build 2.5 b3 with it. I can again load up large documents,
and again I get the same crash bug with ParsedXML through the ZMI
that I've always gotten. Have you gotten any further in reproducing
it at all? I've heard reports from others about infinite hangs, perhaps
that's another way the bug shows itself.

And setting ZOPE_SECURITY_POLICY to PYTHON definitely makes the problem
go away, too.
