There is an integer overflow on hex() because python incorrectly checks the length of the value to return overflow message if it were too big.
hex(0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF+100000**8000000000)
That line will freeze python until you restart it, which is the same thing as crashing python.
Hope it helps ;)

Note that this has nothing to do with `hex()` function. The part that is problem here is 100000**8000000000, which takes ages to compute. You can interrupt it with Ctrl-C.
