The problem is easy to reproduce:

>>> import xdrlib
>>> p = xdrlib.Packer()
>>> p.pack_int(-1)
__main__:1: DeprecationWarning: struct integer overflow masking is deprecated

The cause is xdrlib.Packer uses the same pack operation for both
signed and unsigned integers...

    def pack_uint(self, x):
        self.__buf.write(struct.pack('>L', x))

    pack_int = pack_uint

...and the unsigned struct.pack('>L', x) gags on the negative value.
