A significant portion of the python standard library is broken due to
incorrect use of the struct module on LP64 platforms.  I'm attaching a
patch that should clean it up.

I need Mac OS X people to confirm that the Mac changes are sane.

Its possible that the Lib/posixfile.py change could be a candidate for a
2.4 security backport if it turns out the _posixfile_.lock()
implementation is indeed broken when a 64bit python is used on some
platforms.  I'll leave that up to the 2.4 releaser to decide.
