if I parse a site with a somewhat strange name token in an input of a form (don't look at me, the guys who wrote the page are pretty horrible), I get a parse error:

Hello,
if I parse a site with a somewhat strange name token in an input of a form (don't look at me, the guys who wrote the page are pretty horrible), I get a parse error:
Python 2.7.3 on Linux Mint 14 x64, although this will most likely not make a difference.
This bug may be related to #63 and / or #71.
Sincerely, malexmave
