New submission from Eric Wieser <wieser.eric at gmail.com>:

Introduced in the fix to bpo-36504, GH-12660.

```python
>>> (ctypes.c_uint8 * 0 * 2)()
Fatal Python error: Floating point exception

>>> struct Empty(ctypes.Structure): _fields_ = []
>>> (Empty * 2)()
Fatal Python error: Floating point exception
```

This used to work just fine
