Critical fix: if cPickle on a sizeof(long)==8 box is used to read a
binary pickle, and the latter contains a pickle of a negative Python int i written on a sizeof(long)==4 box (and whether by cPickle or pickle.py), it's read incorrectly as i + 2**32. The patch repairs that, and allows test_cpickle.py (to which I added a relevant test case earlier today) to work again on sizeof(long)==8 boxes. There's another (at least one) sizeof(long)==8 binary pickle bug, but in pickle.py instead. That bug is still there, and test_pickle.py doesn't catch it yet (try pickling and unpickling, e.g., 1 << 46).
