URL causes a Segmentation Fault on BS4. BS3 is fine.

[Jonathan Vanasco]

Parsing this URL will cause a segfault under Beautiful Soup 4

It parses fine under Beautiful Soup 3

I should add - I've tried this under all the parsers. Same result.

I get a segfault with lxml but not with html5lib or html.parser. What
does your parse code look like?

for library in ['html5lib', 'html.parser', 'lxml']:
print library
BeautifulSoup(markup, library)

The segfault looks to be caused by a bug in lxml. I've filed a bug against lxml:

I can't say for sure without seeing your test code, but I think
there's a mistake in it (a mistake I make all the time), and that
you're actually using lxml each time. Let me know if I'm wrong.

If you let me know what version of lxml you're running, I can add that
information to the LXML bug report.
