I don't want to check OverflowError: the test is supposed to compute the checksum of a buffer of 0x7FFFFFFF bytes, to check crc32() and adler32(). 0x7FFFFFFF is the biggest size supported by these functions (zlib doesn't use Pyssizet in Python 2.7).

I see. Since you mentioned issue 10276 in the commit message, I assumed you were testing for the underlying C functions truncating their arguments. It seems that I was mistaken. Sorry for the confusion.

Cheers, Nadeem
