If you can figure out how to reproduce it outside of > rdiff-backup the Python team would be grateful :) you won't be able to. the code fixed in python is duplicated in rdiff-backup's cmodule.c, without the fix, if HAVE_LCHOWN is defined (which it probably is in these cases). to replicate the fix you mentioned at http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Modules/posixmodule.c?r1=77007&r2=77006&pathrev=77007 you have to apply the attached patch to rdiff-backup. this fixed the OverflowError on lchown for me. regards, fake P.S.: in case of replies, please CC me, as i am not subscribed to the list.
