In one of the error branches PyLong_AsSize_t() returns (unsigned long)-1
instead of (size_t)-1.

Yep, clearly a bug.  Please fix!

I suppose that you can test if the bug is tested on Windows 64 bits, where sizeof(long)=32 bits, whereas sizeof(size_t) is 64 bits.

Done, thanks for reviewing.


Victor, I don't think we need a unit test for this. I plan to go
over some modules with gcov in the future, and I'll include
longobject.c.
