rflickr BigNum issue

Hello,

I've recently started a new project using rflickr, and it turns out that Rails is having trouble handling the IDs that are returned for my photos.

The trouble traces back to not automatically converting a number to type BigNum.  A very helpful article that describes this is located here:http://code.coneybeare.net/posts/31-Fixing-Rflickr-and-Xmlrpc-to-Handle-Bignums

My question is whether the changes to the ruby files described in the article have been made to the production servers, and if not, whether the method he suggests taking for those on shared servers will be applicable to my account?

Thanks for the assistance.

I think it will do no harm to have ENABLE_BIGINT = true in that lib.  Have support make the change for your server - ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/config.rb, line 26 - (refer to this post).
