I don't know what happens internally, but such calls raise
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 16: ''
Of course, even if int() traps such calls before calling
PyLong_FromString, an extension writer could goof.
Does the length 1 come from added \0?
By the way, excessively long lines in checkin messages are a nuisance
from reading and responding ;-).
