Summary: int ("ffffffd3", 16) gives error

Initial Comment:
Subject says it all.  This should not give an error 
on a machine that uses 32-bit 2's complement 
representation for int.

ints in Python 2.2 on a 32 bit machine can only hold values
from -(2 ** 31) to (2 ** 31) - 1.  int() will not return a
negative number without a minus sign, the opposite of what
hex literals do.  In Python 2.3, int('ffffffd3', 16) returns
4294967251L. In Python 2.4, 0xffffffd3 will mean
4294967251L.  See PEP 237 for more information.

Mark as invalid.
