[issue1523] xdrlib fails to detect overflow (struct bug?)

[Mark Dickinson]

I think there's nothing we can do about this in 2.6: there's probably code 
out there that depends on the overflow behaviour.

However, 2.6 should have been issuing DeprecationWarnings for overflow 
handling, so it would be safe to remove the overflow wrapping for 2.7.
