[issue17119] Integer overflow when passing large string or tuple to Tkinter

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

Here is a patch. Please run test_tcl test on 64-bit platform with > 20 GiB of memory.

I haven't included a test for huge tuples because it requires a lot of memory (perhaps the hundreds of GiBs) and should run a long time. It is impossible to calculate exact requirements from Python side, it's TCL implementation details. I'm not sure even about a huge string test.
