Gregory P. Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Here's a patch that fixes this by making both Python's malloc and realloc return NULL if (0 <= size <= PY_SSIZE_T_MAX).
A side effect of this is that strings on 32bit platforms can no longer be allocated up to 2**31-1 in length as the malloc includes the internal python object structure overhead. The maximum string size becomes 2147483609 with an optimized build on this system. I do not think that is a problem. A 32-bit process by definition can only ever have one such object allocated at a time anyways. ;) any objections?
