With the current CVS, I get surprising results

Python 2.0b1 (#47, Sep 14 2000, 08:51:18) 
[GCC 2.95.2 19991024 (release)] on linux2
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> 1*1
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
OverflowError: integer multiplication

What is causing this exception?

Curious,
Martin
