[New-bugs-announce] [issue12700] test_faulthandler fails on Mac OS X Lion

[Gareth Rees]

New submission from Gareth Rees <gdr at garethrees.org>:

On Mac OS 10.7, test_faulthandler fails. See test output below.

It looks as though the tests may be at fault in expecting to see "(?:Segmentation fault|Bus error)" instead of "(?:Segmentation fault|Bus error|Illegal instruction)".
