Comment:

 It is clearly an overflow problem. I fixed the problem by:

 1. checking explicitly if lo >= hi before raising the ValueError given
 above.

 2. changing diff to an unsigned long, typecasting hi and lo to long longs
 before subtracting them, then typecasting the result to an unsigned long
 to be put in diff.

 Everything is working quite well with these changes.
