Bus error(coredump)

F***! Nearly everything else works. It just seems to
be something in repr() of a long that crashes it.

Anyone else have this problem?

Peter, no, there have been no other reports of this on 64-
bit platforms.  If possible, try recompiling longobject.c 
with optimization disabled.  Its internal long_format() 
routine is complicated so has a better-than-usual chance of 
provoking bad code generation.

Can you please also report which compiler you have been using?

Can you use a debugger to find out and report where it crashes?
