> _testcapimodule.c is mostly imported as _testcapi in tests. I am not sure this is a security issue.

The function triggers a memory overflow on purpose. Handling memory allocation failure is the least of your problem if you call this function :-)

The whole module is designed to testing purpose only. "_" prefix in "_testapi" means that it must not be used. It's not documented on purpose.

Attached PR fix the bug.
