[issue1359] py3k: out of bounds read in PyUnicode_DecodeUnicodeEscape

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum added the comment:

Thanks!!

The patch as given doesn't quite work -- it gives an error message on
string literals like '\s'.  By reverting some of your code and only
keeping the bounds checks for the octal escape code I got it to work
though.  See my checkin.

Committed revision 58707.

This needs to be backported too; it seems a pure coincidence it didn't
trigger before!
