Attached patch fixes a problem in marshaling large integers. It
seems to only occur on systems with very large memory. However, on
those systems, it's a show-stopper. I see this as a temporary
solution until we can sanitize the XML-RPC functions and get rid of
all the S-Expression stuff.
I thought the main reason to push the XML-RPC stuff before 3.0.2 was
to give a measure of stability to that interface, and provide a more
supportable interface for vendors to lock onto? That reasoning doesn't
really hold if the core of the interface needs more refactoring and
cleaning up post 3.0.2.
The approach for the XML-RPC work was to first get XML-RPC support into
the tree and then build a standard interface. Building a standard
interface requires refactoring (which will be simplification) to get rid
of things like S-Expression configs. To get rid of that, we have to get
rid of the S-Expression/HTTP layer.
This whole reasoning is outlined on the wiki page.
