"""code that has been audited and fixed in the past will again be vulnerable.""" That code wasn't properly audited or fixed if it depended on integer overflow behavior. Anyways, I'm glad we have the flag to disable the optimization on gcc in the meantime. We should open a bug regarding fixing all of pythons integer overflows. gcc is only one compiler. Other compilers are free to behave in exactly the same manner. I've opened http://bugs.python.org/issue1621 to track the larger code fix.

exactly the same manner.
