In general, as soon as you touch ctypes you're on your own :).  ctypes has no protections for this kind of case, so you need to protect yourself.

If you came across this some way that *should* have been safe, please provide more information. But just passing a random memory address to ctypes is likely to cause segfaults or worse.
