Justin Ferguson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Just so you know, the scripts actually do two different things-- the bugs are both related to negative values though. One causes PyString_FromStringAndSize() to try an allocate zero bytes (the -24 one), the other causes like 22 bytes to get allocated and then takes advantage of the sign-conversion when the value is assigned to the zlib structure member (the member is unsigned, the value is signed)
Honestly, you guys should consider enforcing the safe downcast usage because signedness issues are all over your code base (as I'm sure you know) __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2586> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
