test_list, and possible other tests, use a lot of memory when Python is build in 64-bit mode. This causes heavy swapping when the machine doesn't have a huge amount of memory. I've filed this bug because an OSX box with 3 GBytes of RAM gets completely unresponsive when trying to run test_list (due to heavy swapping).

Apparently this has been fixed as part of r65335 ("Security patches from Apple: prevent int overflow when allocating memory"), although it uses sys.maxint where sys.maxsize may be more appropriate. Can you check?

I can confirm that this issue is fixed.
