OverflowError: integer multiplication

[Magnus Heino]

Since upgrading to Python 2.0b2, I'm getting quite a few exceptions like the one below, and usualy caused by xmllib.py

I browsed the buglist at sourceforge, but couldnt find anything like it. Is anyone else having the same problems and/or know how to fix it?
