There is an integer overflow because python doesn't check the length correctly on bytearray:
bytearray(0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF**10000000000**80000000000000000)
That will not return an overflow message, and even though my hex knowledge is very bad I do believe 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF**10000000000**80000000000000000 is more than 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF which does return a overflow message.
Hope it helps ;)

So if it doesn't return an overflow message, what does it returns?
