New submission from Ned Deily <n...@acm.org>:

test_buffer can fail when run on an OS X 64-/32-bit universal build of Python 
is run in 32-bit mode.

$ /usr/local/bin/python3.3 -m test test_buffer
[1/1] test_buffer
1 test OK.
$ /usr/local/bin/python3.3-32 -m test -v test_buffer
== CPython 3.3.0a3 (v3.3.0a3:0b53b70a40a0, May 1 2012, 11:39:35) [GCC 4.2.1

The test is incorrectly testing a compile-time configuration variable which is 
not meaningful for universal builds since each architecture can have different 
values.  Further, the platform.architecture fallback test is also unreliable; 
as noted in the docs for the platform module, sys.maxsize should be used for 
run-time tests.  The attached patch fixes the test for OS X.
