New submission from David Powell <powellip...@gmail.com>:
The problem is easy to reproduce:
>>> import xdrlib
>>> p = xdrlib.Packer()
>>> p.pack_int(-1)
__main__:1: DeprecationWarning: struct integer overflow masking is deprecated
The cause is xdrlib.Packer uses the same pack operation for both
signed and unsigned integers...
def pack_uint(self, x):
self.__buf.write(struct.pack('>L', x))
pack_int = pack_uint
...and the unsigned struct.pack('>L', x) gags on the negative value.
