Problems in HTML::Parser 3.05 with perl 5.6.0 RC3

I've just tried to build HTML::Parser 3.05 on Perl 5.6.0 RC3, on Win32 with
MULTI/ITHREADS/USE_IMP_SYS enabled. When I run the tests, they fail with lots of
errors
    Bad signature in parser state object at 8b9fb84 at t\api_version.t line 15.

In addition, perl itself crashes. Actually, the simple command line
    perl -Mblib -MHTML::Parser -e "HTML::Parser->new(api_version => 3)"
causes an immediate crash (memory reference at location 0x00000001).

The problem is in the declaration of a magic function, which needs a pTHX_ in
the declaration. A patch is attached.

Hope this helps,
Paul Moore.
