[issue1521] string.decode() fails on long strings

[Amaury Forgeot d'Arc]

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc added the comment:

Here is a patch, with a unit test (I was surprised that test_bigmem.py
already contained a test_decode function, which was left empty).

But I still don't have access to any 64bit machine.
Can someone try and see if the new tests in test_bigmem.py fail, and
that the patch in getargs.c corrects the problem?
