And so I could.  test_banana.CananaTestCase.testCrashNegativeLong crashes,
because it calls PyString_AsStringAndSize() with an int-ptr as second
argument (an adjacent ptr variable becomes garbage.) That's certainly a
problem with the Py_ssize_t change. Martin, aren't all output variables (or
ptr-variables, rather) supposed to be controlled by the 'PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN'
#define? People aren't going to notice their compiler warnings; I know I
didn't :)
