</FONT COLOR>

Consider this HTML code:

  <FONT COLOR="#FF0000">Foo!</FONT COLOR><TITLE>Bar!</TITLE>

The malformed </FONT COLOR> markup seems to thoroughly confuse HTML::Parser.
The result seems to be that all code thereafter is handled as straight text.

For example, this perl code:

 require HTML::TreeBuilder;
 $h = new HTML::TreeBuilder;
 $h->parse(q(<FONT COLOR="#FF0000">Foo!</FONT COLOR><TITLE>Bar!</TITLE>));
 print $h->as_HTML;

generates this output:

 <HTML><BODY><P><FONT COLOR="#FF0000">Foo!FONT
 COLOR&gt;&lt;TITLE&gt;Bar!&lt;/TITLE&gt;</FONT></BODY></HTML>

FWIW, Netscape navigator 3.01 seems to handle the malformed </FONT COLOR>
markup correctly.

(I'm using libwww-perl-5.07).
