[xml] Control char causes infinite loop

My book-maker* fetched a web page that had a Ctrl-A at the end of the
title, and that caused the SAX push parser to infinite loop. The
following patch fixes this.

For a test case, take any web page, add a Ctrl-A into the text somewhere,
and then run it through "textHTML -sax -push".

                                  "detected an error in element content\n");
                         ctxt->wellFormed = 0;
- NEXT;
                     }
+ NEXT;
                     break;
                 }

P.S. (*) If anyone is interested in checking out my Rocket eBook "rbmake"
software, feel free to check out http://rbmake.sourceforge.net/ . I'm
still working on some portability features and have yet to create some
binary releases, but the code is working fairly well so far.
