Sorry to have missed them.
I still believe that the logic behind the  
NCBIStandalone.PSIBlastparser is correct or, at least, useful. But I  
could change my mind if you think otherwise.

The XML file that I sent to Peter came from blastpgp 2.2.22. It seems  
to me that it is a proper XML file, not a concatenation.

I have filed the bug:

http://bugzilla.open-bio.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2929

and have upload the XML from blastpgp v. 2.2.22 mentioned above.
