Thanks, this is basically a duplicate of #3494. With fallible allocations, we should be able to make this raise a
MemoryErrorin the same way CPython does.(Note that this isn't an issue with the fact that it is an arg but just the fact that we try to allocate something so large).
Thanks again for opening these issues, even if some are duplicate.
