I tried your examples under linux.
It fails under python 2.3 in the same fashion as you noted, but works
under 2.4.
On my system (debian/testing) I have python 2.4.4c0 installed.
Handling of these sized integers > 0x80000000 changed from 2.3 to 2.4
so maybe this was a fixed bug?
I can't seem to find the point release changelogs though!
