Patch to remove the restriction that the fields be < INT_MAX
Tested on x86_64 on a machine with > 12GB of RAM, leads to this exception,
rather than the python process bailing out:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "Lib/encodings/utf_16.py", line 16, in decode
return codecs.utf_16_decode(input, errors, True)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf16' codec can't decode byte 0x41 in position
2147483646: truncated data
I'm not sure about automated testing for this; the reproducer seems to need
>=12GB of RAM - in borderline cases it drives my machine deep into swap, which
can take a long time to recover from, and might be unacceptable in the test
suite.
