[New-bugs-announce] [issue38127] A fatal error when running test_ctypes

[Zackery Spytz]

New submission from Zackery Spytz <zspytz at gmail.com>:

When running test_ctypes, I encountered a fatal error.

./python -m test test_ctypes
Run tests sequentially
0:00:00 load avg: 0.13 [1/1] test_ctypes
Fatal Python error: a function returned a result with an error set
MemoryError

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

SystemError: <built-in method from_param of _ctypes.PyCPointerType object at 0x55ff17de6e60> returned a result with an error set

It seems that this is because the PyObject_IsSubclass() call in PyCPointerType_from_param() is not checked for failure.
