Please see whether revision: 2.77 of Objects/intobject.c

As discussed on Python-Dev, I suspect this is because 
int_repr only allocates 20 bytes for the output buffer, but 
needs 21 in this case.  Changing a bunch of sprintf calls 
to PyOS_snprintf calls very recently would make this matter 
on a sizeof(long) == 8 box.
