New submission from Gregory Golberg :
On some Python builds (2.5.2 and 2.6.1) the following program:
import sys
from decimal import Decimal
def show(n):
print type(n)
d = Decimal(str(n))
i = int(d)
t = type(i)
print t
i2 = int(i)
t2 = type(i2)
print t2
n = - sys.maxint - 1
show(n)
prints
While on 2.4 and 2.5.1 it prints:
This seems to happen only with -sys.maxint-1 number!
This has been tested with the following builds:
