[rdiff-backup-users] 64-bit Python

[Bob Fischer]

I run rdiff-backup on a 32-bit Linux machine (SuSE 9.0 P-II), trying to
back up a 64-bit machine (SuSE 9.0 Kernel 2.6.1 AMD64).  This morning I
got the error included at the end.

As best as I can tell, what's happening is a mismatch between the 32-bit
integer types on one side and 64-bit integer type on the other side.  Is
this true?

Has anyone else seen this?  It seems that rdiff-backup is best run with
32-bit pythons on both sides...
