2.4.0 Cygwin - exceptions.OverflowError: can't convert negative value delta.py line 127,

[Jari Aalto]

The following was reported in Cygwin mailing list for the 2.4.0. Other
caused this. Do you know if the 2.4.1 contains this fix so that it could be
packaged ASAP?

I recently upgraded the bzr package to this version:

Bazaar (bzr) 2.4.0
  Python interpreter: /usr/bin/python 2.6.5
  Python standard library: /usr/lib/python2.6
  Platform: CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64-1.7.9-0.237-5-3-i686-32bit

Now I receive the following error message during "bzr status" on a branch.

bzr: ERROR: exceptions.OverflowError: can't convert negative value to
unsigned long

There is no issue with bzr 2.3.1-1.  Also, I have checked out the bzr
2.4.0 source and built it myself ("make extensions"), and this works
just fine as well.

Any ideas?
