[issue1533] Bug in range() function for large values

[Alexander Belopolsky]

Alexander Belopolsky <belopolsky at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

I am attaching a patch which does not crash or leak (as tested with -R :) and adds a unit test for OP's case.

The problem, however is that it does not work if new style classes are used in the test case.  See disabled (with if 0) test in the patch.

I'll give it some more thought.
