[New-bugs-announce] [issue27553] Integer Overflow On unicode()

[pablo sacristan]

New submission from pablo sacristan:

There is an integer overflow in unicode() because python incorrectly checks the length of unicode():
unicode(0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF+100000**8000000000)
That freezes python until you restart it which is basically the same effect as crashing python.
Hope it helps ;)
