No doubt it is a clear bug.  My note was just a data point.
 Had I been able to reproduce the error on my machine, I
would have been able to make a test_case and checkin a fix.

So, please, if you can demonstrate the error, go ahead and
check-in a fix with a testcase.

The OSError is probably fine though there is an alternative
of having a ValueError raised immediately after the args are
parsed in the read() method.

Also, you could prevent/detect future errors by adding an
assertion (checking for negative arguments) to
PyString_FromStringAndSize().
