-------
- The _winreg module could segfault when reading very large registry
values, due to unchecked alloca() calls (SF bug 851056). The fix is
uses either PyMem_Malloc(n) or PyString_FromStringAndSize(NULL, n),
as appropriate, followed by a size check.
- file.truncate() could misbehave if the file was open for update
(modes r+, rb+, w+, wb+), and the most recent file operation before
the truncate() call was an input operation. SF bug 801631.
