[issue5010] repoened "test_maxint64 fails on 32-bit systems due to assumption that 64-bit fits into "long"" due to it being closed without asking me whether there was anything else involved

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

New submission from Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton <lkcl at lkcl.net>:

this is reopening http://bugs.python.org/issue4977 because it was closed
without asking whether there was any further information or anything
else that required investigation.

there is no way for me to reopen the bug so i am forced to open a
new one.

mark - don't do that again, please.

the suggestion to use PyOS_strtol was a good one: you should have
left the bug as-is after that suggestion, and WAITED until i had
tested that.

the bug involves 64-bit zip files.

the fact that a 32-bit int is being returned, as -4932893211 (whatever)
instead of 44951 (whatever) is causing the problem.

so will you be kind enough and courteous enough to wait until
i have provided full information and investigated this issue?

or do you not want me to bother?
