However, it's not my fault. I suggested newlen < (PYSSIZETMAX -_ _PYSSIZETMAX / 5) and not newlen <= (PYSSIZETMAX - PYSSIZETMAX /_ _5). In this case, there is no overflow.

Oh. I didn't understand why you replaced <= by <, and so I used <=.

Anyway, I reverted the change for all reasons listed in this thread.
