[issue8821] Range check on unicode repr

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

Well, the patch was technically useless since, as mentioned, unicode strings are terminated by a NUL character by design.

Anyway, I now get the following error on the 2.7 branch. Perhaps it's related:

======================================================================
FAIL: test_ucs4 (test.test_unicode.UnicodeTest)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/antoine/cpython/27/Lib/test/test_unicode.py", line 941, in test_ucs4
