Description:
------------
In Yahoo!'s search results, and on many other pages, there's a tag <![if !IE]>. If XML_HTMLSax runs across this tag, it assumes it's a CDATA tag and looks for it to be terminated by ]]>. This is incorrect. Instead it should not make this assumption and should look for a termination of ]>.

To fix this bug, change lines 224 through 232 (or so) of XML_HTMLSax_States.php to:

} else if ( $char == '[') {
$text = $context->scanUntilString(']>');
$context->IgnoreCharacter();
} else ...

This will take away the CDATA assumption and look for ]> instead.
