Hi Vajrasky,

I get your point. But strangely enough, I can still recover from list(repeat('a', 2**29)). It only slows down my computer. I can ^Z the application then kill it later. But with list(repeat('a', times=-1)), rebooting the machine is compulsory.
Actually you get the early OverflowError if the value doesn't fit a C long, and any value up to sys.maxint gets past this check. Try with 2**31-1.
A bientôt,
Armin.
