Guido van Rossum 2eb0b87d14 SF patch 514641 (Naofumi Honda) - Negative ob_size of LongObjects Due to the bizarre definition of _PyLong_Copy(), creating an instance of a subclass of long with a negative value could cause core dumps later on. Unfortunately it looks like the behavior of _PyLong_Copy() is quite intentional, so the fix is more work than feels comfortable. This fix is almost, but not quite, the code that Naofumi Honda added; in addition, I added a test case.		2002-03-01 22:24:49 +00:00
