[issue3116] Fix quadratic behavior for marshal.dumps() when len>32Mb

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis <martin at v.loewis.de> added the comment:

The patch looks fine to me.

Notice that the code you are patching was never released, instead, it's
the result of r63059, which was the resolution of issue1792. So please
leave a message there also that you changed it again (and I do agree
that the capping implemented in r63059 was misguided).

Also, please consider backporting the resulting code to 2.5.
