The example uses unions, which libffi doesn't really support (see for example <https://github.com/atgreen/libffi/issues/33>).

There is an issue in the python tracker about union support in ctypes: #16575.

FWIW. I can still reproduce the issue with x86_64 on OSX with both the 2.7 and default branches, while i386 does not crash.

I intend to close this as a duplicate of #16575 as that better explains the underlying problem.
