Confirmed with Python 2.3.4 vs. Python 2.5. I think I'll pose this to the Python
community, comp.lang.python...

I don't know whether this is purely a 64 bit problem, since executing the
snippets above, Python 2.3.4 on the same 64 bit machine yields the correct
result.

Thank you very much! I've applied the patch after upgrading to the newest
version, pymsnt-0.11.2 and it seems to be working fine. It doesn't seem like it
will break anything else.
