This code worked a while back:
    x = -2
    y = 0xffffffffL
    x = x & y

With Jython 2.1, it generates a syntax
error:
    Traceback (innermost last):
      File "<console>", line 1, in ?
    TypeError: __and__ nor __rand__ defined for
    these operands

I can work around it in two different ways.
This is okay:

    x = -2
    y = 0xffffffffL
    x = y & x     // Order reversed

And so is this:

    x = -2
    y = 0xffffffffL
    x = long (x) & y     // Explicit convestion of int
to long

But neither seem like they *should* be
required.  Is this new behavior intentional?
Or a bug?

E-mail me for details, if necessary:
