I can't reproduce this failure when running the Acquisition 2.12.4 tests
with Python 2.4 on my machine.
This is python 2.4 on 64-bit linux. I bet it's because of:

  typedef int Py_ssize_t;

and sys.maxint overflows to -1 with that definition. I suspect that
all open-ended slicing ops in Python C extensions are borken in python
2.4, because it doesn't have Py_ssize_t.
