fish: Job 1, 'python' terminated by signal SIGBUS (Misaligned address error)
Looking at the code, it looks like the issue is the uninitialized PyObject pointers values at the top of ionc_write. In the event that the arguments are wrong, the function jumps down to the fail label, and pointers that are uninitialized get Py_DECREF'd.. which is probably what is generating the random segfault, and bus errors.
