[issue7019] unmarshaling of artificial strings can produce funny longs.

So there are two options:  (1) raise an exception, or (2) strip leading 
zero digits and produce a properly normalized Python long.  Do you have 
any strong preferences?  I'm inclined towards (2).

How did you encounter this in the first place?
