Summary: Can't take sequence slice past 32K

Initial Comment:
If you have a string/list/etc longer than 32K and you
attempt to take a slice beyond the 32K size, you get
"TypeError: indices must be integers".

For example, if x='spam'*16000, then something like
x[34000, 34100] fails, and x[y, z] also fails if
y=34000 and z=34100

It affects lists and tuples as well as strings.

This is present in 2.4 and 2.4.1, and happens on at
least the Linux and Windows platforms.
