More of the same kind of problem:
abs(-sys.maxint-1) sometimes gives -sys.maxint-1.
It would be a good idea to review all places that need
to special-case -sys.maxint-1 for overflow detection.
(It would be a still better idea to review all overflow
detection code, but that may have to wait after the
2.5 release).
