Interesting - long_new goes through PyNumber_Long if no explicit base is
provided. That does a pre-check for embedded NULLs in the input string.
With an explicit base, however, PyLong_FromString is called directly.
Since that API takes a char* string, it stops at the first embedded NULL:
>>> long('123\0003', 10)
123L
>>> long('123\00032', 10)
123L
So 'long_from_string' in abstract.c already has this problem solved -
the helper function just needs to be moved into longobject.c so it can
be used for explicit bases as well.
Cheers,
Nick.
