There's definitely some bugs in this area of the range object code

Hmm. I'm not seeing the bug here. What am I missing?
Eh, brain explosion from typing too late at night. The experiment I
actually *meant* to try was:
>>> x = range(0, 2**33, 2)
>>> len(x)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
OverflowError: Python int too large to convert to C ssize_t
>>> x[0]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
OverflowError: Python int too large to convert to C ssize_t
The error message in the latter case is thoroughly confusing (although
it is now clearer what is causing it).
Cheers,
Nick.
