consider running this on machine with 16GB of ram: line = "x" for i in range(40): line = line + line print len(line) and it's output: 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512 1024 2048 4096 8192 16384 32768 65536 131072 262144 524288 1048576 2097152 4194304 8388608 16777216 33554432 67108864 134217728 268435456 536870912 1073741824 -2147483648 Segmentation fault [lligo@kwaw-b1 0.1.x]$ python Python 2.4.4 (#1, Oct 23 2006, 13:58:18) [GCC 4.1.1 20061011 (Red Hat 4.1.1-30)] on linux2 I'll can try to chceck if it fails with python 2.5 but I need to compile one.

Martin, do you think the Py_ssize_t changes prevent this in Py2.5?

This looks like a duplicate of bug #1526585: http://www.python.org/sf/1526585 That bug was fixed in Python 2.5, but it didn't get backported to the 2.4 branch (string_concatenate() in ceval.c is still missing an overflow check).
