My AMD64 machine was giving a lot of errors on zip(xrange(sys.maxint), iterable), which I now fixed in trunk. I'm re-running the tests to find out which ones are left over, but I'm having a hard time figuring out what to look at in trial's rather verbose logfile. There seem to be quite a few tracebacks involving Exception subclasses, in any case. Perhaps changing Exception's type in 2.5 wasn't a good idea after all (but hey, that's what alphas are for ;)

No, the idea was a wonderful idea! =)

Are the errors because of something in Python, or because Twisted has not been changed to handle the new semantics? I know so far test failures have come from people making overly strict assumptions about the output (e.g., I think it was Thomas or Greg who was getting failures because type(Exception) outputted a different string for doctest stuff). Is that the case here?

Oh, goodie, a segmentation fault. Let's see if I can reproduce it ;P
