[Image-SIG] OverflowError: long int to large to convert to int

[Bernd Prager]

I'm running ActiveState Python 2.4.2 on Windows XP with Python 2.4 PIL-1.1.5.

When I try to open an OLE file I get the error message:

  File "C:\bin\eclipse\workspace\email\email.py", line 7, in main
    ole = PIL.OleFileIO.OleFileIO(filename)
  File "C:\bin\Python24\Lib\site-packages\PIL\OleFileIO.py", line 260, in
__init__
    self.open(filename)
  File "C:\bin\Python24\Lib\site-packages\PIL\OleFileIO.py", line 293, in
open
    self.loaddirectory(i32(header, 48))
  File "C:\bin\Python24\Lib\site-packages\PIL\OleFileIO.py", line 339, in
loaddirectory
    fp = self._open(sect)
  File "C:\bin\Python24\Lib\site-packages\PIL\OleFileIO.py", line 405, in
_open
    self.sectorsize, self.fat)
  File "C:\bin\Python24\Lib\site-packages\PIL\OleFileIO.py", line 106, in
__init__
    sect = fat[sect]
OverflowError: long int too large to convert to int

The same script on Debian Linux with the Debian packages python2.3
(2.3.5-9) and python2.3-imaging (1.1.5-4) runs fine. My problem is even
when I develop on Linux the target system has to be Windows. So I need a
way to make that work.

Is there a way for me to fix this?

Thanks for any help or suggestions,
