Hrm. On my OS X laptop:

lir:~/Desktop/parrotbench dan$ python -O
Python 2.3 (#1, Sep 13 2003, 00:49:11)
[GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1495)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>  import b
--> iteration 0
--> b0
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
   File "b.py", line 12, in ?
     b0.main()
   File "b0.py", line 893, in main
     checkoutput(4201300315)
   File "b0.py", line 763, in checkoutput
     check(strhash(outputtext), n)
   File "b0.py", line 3, in check
     raise AssertionError("%.30r != %.30r" % (a, b))
AssertionError: 503203581L != 4201300315L

I'll try generating the bytecode on a linux box, but something seems 
amiss somewhere. (Perhaps just in my understanding of what should be 
happening)
