Oh, interesting.

I could argue that that's a missing feature in Python's slice handling.  The 
value of text_space at that point is '+inf', and I obviously incorrectly 
assumed that slicing would treat that as if it were [:].  The counter argument, 
of course, is that inf is a float not an integer.  I suppose we'll have to use 
sys.maxsize instead.
