[issue1608] test_str.py crashes

[Ismail Donmez]

Ismail Donmez added the comment:

This is a soon to be released GCC though I won't deny it has
regressions, but note that extra optimizations already uncovered bugs in
other software.

And unless I can get a minimal C testcase, GCC bug will be worthless.

Exact crashling call is string_tests.py line 255 :

self.checkraises(OverflowError,
                             '\ta\n\tb', 'expandtabs', sys.maxint)

Commenting out this fixes the crash.
