Which is about maxint/2, which I checked in.

So long as it's testing Python's overflow-checking code instead of the 
platform realloc(), it should be fine.  It's probably still dubious on 
Win64 (where sys.maxint is still 2**31-1), but should be fine 
everywhere else).  I'll worry about Win64 when somebody runs it <1/64 
wink>.
