When I use zlib.decompress to decompress a string where the result would
be >1 GB I get
SystemError: Objects/stringobject.c:4089: bad argument to internal function

I tracked that down to an int overflow of r_strlen in PyZlib_decompress.
Using Py_ssize_t instead of int solved this for me (on 64bit Linux).

The patch is against
python/trunk/Modules/zlibmodule.c
Revision: 56476

Kind regards,
Peter
