Angle Brackets Bug

I noticed that in some scenarios, this bug can occur:

Suppose your string is the following:

>>> string =  """
... Start of test.
...
...     for (i=0; i<3; i++) {
...         printf("Hello, world.");
...     }
...
... > This is a quote
...
... End of test.
... """

I would expect the C-code snippet to be formatted as a code block, and the quote to be formatted as a blockquote.

However, when I use safe_mode="escape" (because I want users of this to be able to use HTML in the application), markdown2 thinks that there is a big HTML tag in this block from the less than symbol to the beginning of the blockquote:

>>> import markdown2
>>> markdown2.markdown(string, safe_mode="escape")
'<p>Start of test.</p>\n\n<pre><code>for (i=0; i&lt;3; i++) {\n        printf("Hello, world.");\n    }  \n\n&gt; This is a quote\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>End of test.</p>\n'
>>> markdown2.markdown(string, safe_mode="replace")
'<p>Start of test.</p>\n\n<pre><code>for (i=0; i[HTML_REMOVED] This is a quote\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>End of test.</p>\n'
>>>

This seems to be a bug, because it means I cannot have a blockquote after a block of code that uses a < symbol.

Start at the markdown2.markdown entry point and reproduce the supplied string with safe_mode="escape" and safe_mode="replace". Done means the C-code block preserves the less-than symbol and the following quote is rendered as a separate blockquote in both relevant cases.
