Need help identifying a 64bit specific problem with gstreamer08-python in extras-development

[Thomas Vander Stichele]

Sadly exactly this patch was sitting in my local tree of gst-python 0.8.
My bad.  Too much gst stuff to maintain at once I guess.  I released
0.8.4 and pushed a package to extras for FC4.  About to push for FC5 too
now.

Thanks
Thomas
