Nice catch!  Thanks for reporting this.

get_len_of_range in Objects/rangeobject.c only works for positive steps,
but is being called with a negative step here.

I think get_len_of_range should be changed to work with both positive
and negative steps.  It's only called from one other place, and that
place also has to deal with negative steps.  (And I'm not convinced that
this place is dealing with negative steps correctly either:  it uses
simply -step to negate the step, which can overflow if step == LONG_MIN.)

I'll put a patch together.
