[rdiff-backup-users] Overflow error 0.13.6

[Jan Jitse Venselaar]

Hello all,

When I try to backup a 12G of data (multiple directories, multiple files in 
size ranging from 0 bytes to roughly 700 MB) I get the following error:

^[[ATraceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/rdiff-backup", line 23, in ?
    rdiff_backup.Main.Main(sys.argv[1:])

367, in reval
    if isinstance(result, Exception): raise result
OverflowError: long int too large to convert to int

This happens in the initial backup.
Any idea what is happening, and how to fix this? I backup from an amd64 to a 
x86
Information
librsync 0.9.7
rdiff-backup 0.13.6 
python 2.4.1
When I backup a smaller partition, everything works well
