http://wnolfm.com isn't a feed url. http://wnolfm.com is the link the the 
website.

If you would like to parse the feed than try 
http://wnolfm.com/?format=feed&type=atom. This seems to be the feed of this 
website

You can reproduce this if you
1) go to http://validator.w3.org/appc/#validate_by_uri
2) insert http://wnolfm.com into the address field
3) The url changes to http://wnolfm.com/?format=feed&type=rss because this is 
the feed address of this website

I think the crash is libxml2-related and was fixed a while back in git master. 
Could you try grabbing the latest code and try again? The direct download link 
is:

http://feedparser.googlecode.com/git/feedparser/feedparser.py

Thanks!

git version fixes the problem. can you please ship a bugfix release? :)
