Unfortunately I don't have a Visual Studio setup right now.

It seems to me that at the time the wrong branch is taken, f->id
could be in the registers in the wrong order (same as in msg170985),
but when the error message is printed, the value is read from
memory.  This is just a guess of course.


As Martin, I'm uncomfortable that the memoryview issue no longer
appears, but this one still does.


I've attached an alternative version of PyLong_AsUnsignedLongLong()
that is just intended for testing the compiler.


If the optimizer does whole progam optimization, it might choke
on _PyLong_AsByteArray().
