Ah, sorry about the confusion - my chain of thought was a little more 
convoluted than that. The wedged buildbot caused the compile to fail 
after a checkin of mine, which lead to me looking at that buildbot's 
compile log, which had all sorts of warnings which I had never seen 
before because my development machine is a 32-bit Linux box.

Given that I thought all those warnings had been cleared out when 
Py_ssize_t was first added, I was a little surprised by the quantity of 
them.

Cheers,
Nick.
