[Zope] Zope + MySQL problem

[Chris Gray]

I have a working Zope site that I want to move to a more powerful machine.  
I've set up the new machine (Debian GNU/Linux).  I've moved Data.fs and
everything looks fine.  I've dumped the mysql database and reloaded it and
everything looks fine

 ... 

except a query to the MySQL database that retrieves an integer record id
value now retrieves it with the suffixed 'L' for a python long
integer.  This 'L' goes into a URL and breaks the next step in the process
since Zope gives an error that '1727L' (or whatever) is not a proper
integer.

The code is basically the following inside a dtml-in loop on a database
query:
     <a href="collect_stats.html?record_id=&dtml-record_id;">
This used to render as:
     <a href="collect_stats.html?record_id=1727">
and now renders as:
     <a href="collect_stats.html?record_id=1727L">

Why?

Thanks,
Chris
