Description Fabio Rossi 2013-07-10 18:12:18 UTC

I have found a problem with the latest 2.7.5 python release, only on 32 bit systems. The problem is already known, see the upstream bug report

http://bugs.python.org/issue17998

Does it make sense to mask it?

The upstream bug has a patch. Should we just apply that?
