[issue17645] assert fails in _Py_Mangle

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

The crash is very obscure, I don't think we want to bother with a unit test for that (it took 14 seconds to crash or pass here).

The variables are of type size_t, not Py_ssize_t (which explains why the comparison works).

resolution:  -> fixed
