Comment(by jdemeyer):

 Updated patch.  Only change is this comment (changed to reflect that
 various Mac OS X systems have this issue):
 {{{
 # Dereference a NULL pointer on purpose. This signals a SIGSEGV on most
 # systems, but on older Mac OS X and possibly other systems, this
 # signals a SIGBUS instead. In any case, this should give some signal.
 }}}
