 Nicole & Werner,
 
 Python updated their bundled version of libffi to 3.0.13 on 13 Mar 2013:
 
 http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/b10ec5083a53
 
 1) Can you both please confirm whether the issue still exists in the
 latest version of lang/python27 (2.7.5) or not.
 
 2) If you *can* reproduce it in the above case, can you both also try
 applying the attached patch & rebuilding lang/python27, which will build
 ctypes against devel/libffi from ports, rather than the bundled version.
 
 This will help determine what the current state is and point us in the
 right direction to where a permanent fix is to be applied. Maintaining a
 local patch is a short term fix and ultimately needs to be resolved at
 Python or libffi upstream.
 
 Thank you both for your report and follow-ups
 
 Koobs
