Martin Panter added the comment:

Actually it did make an existing bug a bit worse. The bug is triggered with 
valid sizes greater than LONG_MAX, due to an exception not being cleared, and 
my change made this bug more dramatic, turning the OverflowError into a crash. 
This new patch should fix that.

I’m now looking at adding the other tests that require allocating lots of 
memory.
