Yeah it wasn't easy to find the faulty tests.

Your last commit fixed the segfault problem for me. About 20 to 25 tests
are still failing but at least I can run the regression tests again w/o
removing test_ctypes.py.

Thanks for finding out (and apologies that I've made it so difficult to
find crashing tests).
Further investigation shows that the crashing test cases are:

in test_functions.py:  test_stringresult
in test_python_api.py: test_PyOS_snprintf
in test_slicing.py:   test_char_ptr and test_char_ptr_with_free

All in all, there are quite some char problems in the struni branch, but
I'm working on them.

Oh I forgot to mention my system: Ubuntu Linux 7.04 on an i386 compatible
machine (Intel P3).
