New Revision: 54746

Modified:
   pypy/dist/pypy/rpython/lltypesystem/test/test_rffi.py
Log:
This test crashes on some configurations.
Explain why it is broken, and skip it.

I'm not sure what this function tries to test.
If it's only about a string allocated by the external function,
then we could just leak this pointer.
