I do not have the code for Python 2.5.4 around - therefore,
I looked into that for Python 2.4.6. Based on this (older) version,
the "SystemError" above may come from the "PyLong_AsLong" function
(converting a Python "long" into a "C" "long"). In this case,
the error would be caused by provding a wrong parameter
(neither Python "int" nor Python "long") to "PyLong_AsLong".

At your place, I would have a look at the Python 2.5.4 code
and check there where precisely the "SystemError" comes from.
Then I would try to find out why it gets wrong (this might
require the use of a "C" level debugger).
