Summary: crash on deleting extended slice

Initial Comment:
If you add the following line to test_types.py:400
  del a[::1000]

The interpreter crashes.

The problem is around Objects/listobject.c 1789.
In the inner for loop, the calculated index (cur + j + 1)
can get larger than the list.

I found this problem using valgrind -
