There's no chance that the reference count can overflow; at least as many bits are used to hold the reference count as there are distinct -memory locations in virtual memory (assuming ``sizeof(long) >= sizeof(char*)``). +memory locations in virtual memory (assuming ``sizeof(Py_ssize_t) >= sizeof(void*)``).
