Crashing on start with OverflowError

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run the sopcast-player executable.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
A running sopcast client is expected, but this is what I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/sopcast-player/lib/sopcast-player.py", line 32, in <module>
    from fork import ForkSOP
  File "/usr/share/sopcast-player/lib/fork.py", line 28, in <module>
    class Fork(gobject.GObject):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gobject/__init__.py", line 60, in __init__
    cls._type_register(cls.__dict__)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gobject/__init__.py", line 115, in _type_register
    type_register(cls, namespace.get('__gtype_name__'))
OverflowError: signed integer is greater than maximum (while registering 
property 'pid' for GType 'fork+Fork')

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Upgraded from 0.7.4 to 0.8.2 on both Ubuntu 10.10 and Linux Mint 12, same 
problem on both. Only difference is that Ubuntu 10.10 has python 2.6.

Tried with python3 as well, didn't work either, but another error message. But 
I guess that's because it's not ported to python3 yet?

I think I might have fixed the issue, see if the version in the PPA fixes your 
issue, please respond either way.
