Correct. Or, to be hyper-correct: it fails in MacPython 2.2.X on 
OSX as well,
but not in unix-Python 2.2.X on OSX.

Doesn't work, now the assert just above that fails (the payload 
length is 0 in stead of 2), so I think this breaks the boundary 
separation or somesuch. I've added code to simply skip this test 
for MacPython 2.2.X, how do you feel about that?
