I discovered that gcc 4.2 exposes a flaw with signed integer overflows in python. This bug and the necessary fix has been discussed in detail on the gcc mailing list. I have filed a detailed bug report and the recommended patch proposed by the gcc developers. This problem should be addressed BEFORE python 2.5 is released. The bug report is... [ 1545668 ] gcc trunk (4.2) exposes a signed integer overflows in the python sourceforge bug tracker. Thanks in advance for attempting to fix this before Python 2.5 is released. Jack
