Comment:
Limiting it to 12 characters would ensure that the return value is an int,
but for 32-bit systems, it is far too large. For 32-bit systems, it would
need to be limited to 5 characters. We discussed changes to throw a
ValueError from base36_to_int if the value is greater than sys.maxint, but
that would potentially break a lot of user systems that may be happily
using longs without issue. The safest approach seems to be to just catch
the OverflowError in password_reset_confirm and set user to None if it
occurs. Patch is attached.
