to each allocated block. This was using 4 bytes for each such piece of info regardless of platform. This didn't really matter before (proof: no bug reports, and the debug-build obmalloc would have assert-failed if it was ever asked for a chunk of memory >= 2**32 bytes), since container indices were plain ints. But after the Py_ssize_t changes, it's at least theoretically possible to allocate a list or string whose guts exceed 2**32 bytes, and the PYMALLOC_DEBUG routines would fail then (having only 4 bytes to record the originally requested size). Now we use sizeof(size_t) bytes for each of a PYMALLOC_DEBUG build's extra debugging fields. This won't make any difference on 32-bit boxes, but will add 16 bytes to each allocation in a debug build on a 64-bit box.
