    threading.py Condition wait overflow error

    Every once in a while since I moved to Python 2.4 I've been seeing the
    following exception in threading.py Condition:

    File "mctest3.py ", line 1598, in WaitForMessages
    self.condRespon ses.wait(1.0)
    File "C:\Program Files\Python24\ lib\threading.p y", line 221, in wait
    delay = min(delay * 2, remaining, .05)
    OverflowError: long int too large to convert to int

    Is there something I'm doing wrong here ? I've looked at my code, and
    glanced at threading.py, and I can't see any obvious errors (multiplying
    a float by 2, using the result of the time.time() call none of which use
    longs as far as I know).

    I added some print statements to threading.py and the exception is
    thrown on the first iteration when delay is 0.0005 and remaining is 1.0
    However the code does keep running...
    ---------<code>--------------
    Delay: 0.0005 Remaining: 1.0
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
    File "mctest3.py ", line 2665, in getLogonRespons e

    File "mctest3.py ", line 1598, in WaitForMessages
    self.condRespon ses.wait(1.0)
    File "C:\Program Files\Python24\ lib\threading.p y", line 222, in wait
    delay = min(delay * 2, remaining, .05)
    OverflowError: long int too large to convert to int
    Delay: 0.016 Remaining: 8.07899999619
    Delay: 0.032 Remaining: 8.01600003242
    Delay: 0.05 Remaining: 7.95399999619
    Done
    Message response handler got message <LogonStatus4 object at 0x0167B540>
    ----------</code>-------------

    Is this something to do with min ? Converting 1.0 ?

    Thanks for any help.
