Summary: operator.c slice functions need to parse ssize_t

Initial Comment:
To reproduce, on a system with 64 bits in sys.maxint:

$ python
x = [3,4,5]
del x[1:]
x = [3,4,5]
from operator import delslice
import sys
delslice(x, 1, sys.maxint)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
OverflowError: signed integer is greater than maximum

The patch looks correct to me, but I can't test it
since I don't have a 64 bit system.

I posted the patch with added tests here:
http://freeweb.siol.net/chollus/

Can someone with the right privileges attach that file
here?
