issue2636-20101009.zip is a new version of the regex module.
It appears from a posting in python-list and a closer look at the docs that
string positions in the 're' module are limited to 32 bits, even on 64-bit
builds. I think it's because of things like:
Py_BuildValue("i", ...)
where 'i' indicates the size of a C int, which, at least in Windows compilers,
is 32-bits in both 32-bit and 64-bit builds.
The regex module shared the same problem. I've changed such code to:
Py_BuildValue("n", ...)
and so forth, which indicates Py_ssize_t.
Unfortunately I'm not able to confirm myself that this will fix the problem on
64 bits.
