Title:
  bzr crashed with OverflowError in _create_z_content_from_chunks():
  size does not fit in an int

Status in Bazaar Version Control System:
  New
Status in “bzr” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Characteristic: I have about 185 new files on a local working directory added to my branch.   Upon commit, a number of files are added but then the system hangs.  The mouse and all processes on my ubuntu 11.10 slow down.  The first time was from the command line.  I had to Ctrl-c to break the process.
  Then i was stuck with a lock on some files in dirstate that prevented me from doing anything.

  A complete reboot (restart wasn't sufficient) allowed me to bzr break-
  lock the process. (note that bzr info gave no indication of locked
  processes - not as suggested by the manual)

  [SOLVED - WORKAROUND] I then used the Bazaar - Explorer gui to add parts of the branch bit by bit.
  It turns out that I had some video animation files.  These seemed to have caused the system hang.
  It's probably a bug that you aren't warned not to add files that are too large.  And that a lock is created rather than rejecting the attempted commit.

  I would like to get involved with launchpad / bazaar.  If someone
  takes this bug fix on, I'd like to ride shotgun and see how they fix
  it.  I could do unit testing afterwards.  Then i'd be on the path to
  being able to contribute myself.  solarmobiletrailers at gmail.com
