Hmm, strange. Perhaps you could see if the test suite runs ("import

floating point -- perhaps you could poinpoint it down to a particular
operation that returns a bogus result?

What should such a conversion module do? What kind of problems did
you encounter? I guess that it's something to do with different tab

Sounds like a problem with the NeXT then? I compiled Python with
Think C 5.0 on an old Mac-II running system 6. I thought that Think C
version produced 32-bit clean code (even though it isn't 32-bit clean
itself). Anyone else shed some light on this?
