Looks like something is wrong inside your CHM book. The SGML parser of Python is
probably a bit too much strict on that.
Don't really know where to start. Could you send me a copy of the offending CHM 
file?

Hi Everzone, I just encountered the same error when trying to convert a chm 
book...
I would like to send you the book, but it is pretty big, more than 60 Mo!

Where can I drop it?

We cannot do anything about CHM files that throw errors with Python's SGML 
Parser. I
will change the status to "WontFix".
