[Python-Dev] test_builtin failing? or just 64-bit platforms

[Mark Favas]

Anyone else getting test_builtin failures with current CVS, or does it
only show on 64-bit platforms? Changes in the past week seem to have
caused the failure. Isolated to following (will post bug on SF):

***** older CVS works *****
201 mark@gonzo.per.dem.csiro.au python
Python 2.2b2+ (#539, Nov 26 2001, 09:52:25) [C] on osf1V4

>>> import sys
>>> s=-1-sys.maxint
>>> d=`s`
>>> d

>>> s
-9223372036854775808
>>> ^D
