The test tries to mmap a file with the size of slightly above 1GiB. In bup.bloom: | create(): expected = 268435456 | create(): bits = 30 | create(): size = 1073741824 | ! tbloom.py:38 4 == 4 > This is unfortunate. However for fundamental bugs (yes, using mmap to > map large files is a fundamental bug), this is no solution. And waiting for 5 month is also no solution.
