 Follow up for Beaglebone (ARM) with Python-2.7.3
 
 Python27 on FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT #0 r246947M builds ok from ports, but 
 aborts and dumps core when importing ctypes.
 
 I debugged this so far that I was able to identify the offending line, 
 being a quite questionable fix in ctypes/__init__.py:279 in function 
 _reset_cache()
 
 If this line is commented out, ctypes just loads fine and twisted being 
 dependent on ctypes is unfolding its power with an impressively clean 
 bill when twisted tests are run.
