But then there's http://bugs.python.org/issue6873, which indicates
that perhaps lchown still has the problem in the released Python
versions. If you can figure out how to reproduce it outside of
rdiff-backup the Python team would be grateful
you won't be able to. the code fixed in python is duplicated in rdiff-backup's cmodule.c, without the fix, if HAVE_LCHOWN is defined (which it probably is in these cases).
to replicate the fix you mentioned at http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Modules/posixmodule.c?r1=77007&r2=77006&pathrev=77007 you have to apply the attached patch to rdiff-backup.
this fixed the OverflowError on lchown for me.
