[New-bugs-announce] [issue9888] int overflow in datetime causes seg fault from datetime.ctime()

[Brian Bernstein]

New submission from Brian Bernstein <bernie9998 at gmail.com>:

When creating an int overflow via a subtraction operation with a datetime object and a timedelta object, the resulting datetime object can cause a segmentation fault when the ctime method is called.

Segmentation Fault occurred on python 2.6.5 on 64 bit ubuntu lucid.

Code as follows:

from datetime import datetime, timedelta
(datetime.now() - timedelta(734395)).ctime()
