HTMLParser chokes on bad end tag in comment

Sun, 28 May 2006 14:05:47 -0700 

The code below results in an exception (Python 2.4.2):

HTMLParser.HTMLParseError: bad end tag: "</foo' + 'bar>", at line 4,
column 6

Should it? The end tag it chokes on is in comment, isn't it?

import HTMLParser
HTMLParser.HTMLParser().feed("""
<html><head><title></title></head><body><script>
<!--
x = '</foo' + 'bar>'
// -->
</script></body></html>
""")
