I can't reproduce this. However I had to to a change to make the testcase run -- the underlying buffer acquired for the test was now unicode. Do you think this was related to the unicode object?

I meant, the crash. What happened for me was basically that the buffer could not be acquired because an exception was raised when assigning the unicode to char*. However there was no crashes for me ever.

Works for me now. Would be good to disallow <char*>some_str_object, though.
