 In myhtmlparse.cc around line 81, the omega HTML handler resets the
 current content each time an opening <body> tag is found.

 Some very malformed HTML files contain several opening <body> tags, and
 resetting on further occurrences loses content.

 At least Firefox and Opera ignore further <body> tags. Incidentally they
 also just ignore closing </body> and </html> tags.

 Noticed through a reported Recoll issue (Recoll uses the Omega parser
 mostly unmodified), and changed locally.
