Research direction

Reproduce the failure with the 32-bit Mageia or Fedora Mock build, then inspect bcrypt/init.py around kdf and tests/test_bcrypt.py at test_kdf. Run the reported tox py310 test environment and compare behavior on a 32-bit system. Done means the test suite completes without a segmentation fault on the affected architecture.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Tests fails due to a segfault on 32bit Mageia Cauldron, the development version of the distro. I can reproduce the issue also with Fedora 36 bcrypt mock build. Mock is a tool for a reproducible build of RPM packages.

+ /usr/bin/python3 -m tox --current-env -q --recreate -e py310
