I believe we've fixed all the crashes like this.  I searched for all places in
the parser that was using parentNode().  The normal DOM/RenderTrees should be
safe, because the subtree is fully detached.

A better solution wouuld be to have a function on the parser which coudl be
called at specific times (after a <script> tag for instance) which would walk
down the node stack, checking of they all still had parents, and if not pop all
the way back to one which was still in the tree, setting that one as current.

I chose not to make that change after talking with Maciej at some length.  We
felt that such a change could be very risky for the branch.  We could
reconsider something similar for TOT.  Be aware that one script could modify
another documents tree mid/parse, so there might need to be checks in other
places as well.
