Comment:

 With 3.4.4, I don't get the `SystemError`, but I do get `b'^'` which isn't
 right - that's the serialisation of `-1`.  With SWIG git master (which is
 just a few commits after 3.0.8), I get a more plausible answer (I didn't
 think to check unserialising it again while I still had it built).

 We need to check that upgrading SWIG doesn't regress any other languages,
 but at least we know what the fix for this is now.
