[issue12159] Integer Overflow in __len__

[Peter Fankhaenel]

New submission from Peter Fankhaenel <pit007am at googlemail.com>:

An OverflowError is emitted in case the return value of __len__
exceeds 2**31-1.

The following code:

class C (object):
    def __len__ (self):
       return self.l

c = C()
c.l = 2**31

len (c)

# leads to an OverflowError in the last line. It works flawless for

c.__len__ ()
