In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv28123/Misc

Log Message:
Patch by Chad Netzer (with significant change):
- range() now works even if the arguments are longs with magnitude
  larger than sys.maxint, as long as the total length of the sequence
  fits.  E.g., range(2**100, 2**101, 2**100) is the following list:
  [1267650600228229401496703205376L].  (SF patch #707427.)
