New submission from Serhiy Storchaka:

Debugging build crashes in some circumstances in str.decode() with error 
handler which produces replacement string with length larger than malformed 
data. For example the backslashreplace error handler produces 4-character 
string for every illegal byte. All other standard error handlers produce no 
longer than 1 character for every illegal unit.

Here is a patch which fixes this issue. I'll commit it without review because 
buildbots are broken without it. This issue is open for reference and 
post-commit review.
