The problem is floor division // on the line:

  MAXBINSIZE = (MAXLINESIZE//4)*3

So the attached would be the fix, then?

I feel a "How to change Python's grammar" informational PEP
coming on...

I'm not familiar with the parser module (this is the first
time I've looked at it). But the patch looks correct.

As for the PEP, I think it's a good idea. It would help
point out many details people (like me) are probably unaware of.

Checked in as:

Modules/parsermodule.c revision 2.75
Lib/test/test_parser.py 1.14

logistix, can you check this works for you?

PEP already with editors. It wasn't very long, as it turned
out.

Yeah, works fine. Thanks for the prompt action.
