[issue27553] Integer Overflow On unicode()

New submission from pablo sacristan: There is an integer overflow in unicode() because python incorrectly checks the length of unicode(): unicode(0xFFF+10**80) That freezes python until you restart it which is basically the same effect as crashing python. Hope it helps ;
