[New-bugs-announce] [issue17964] os.sysconf(): return type of the C function sysconf() is long, not int

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor:

According to POSIX and my manual page on Linux, sysconf() return type is long (and not int).
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/sysconf.html

It may not mater in practice because most sysconf() results are smaller than 1000, and I failed to find a value bigger than 2 millions.
