+Fix a doctest failure which triggers in i686.
+
+The example is in the function `test_bad_str()` in the file `tests.pyx`.
+The test pases a bad string to `sig_str()` and then raises `SIGILL`. The
+signal handler eventually raises a Python exception which in turn raises
+a `SIGSEGV` when accessing the bad string. An error message is expected,
+but that doesn't happen.
+
+Presumably the segfault happens inside some stdio function which leaves
+stdio buffers in an inconsistent state so the latter `fprintf` doesn't
+work properly. From signal-safety(7):
+
+    Suppose that the main program is in the middle of a call to a
+    stdio function such as printf(3) where the buffer and associated
+    variables have been partially updated.  If, at that moment, the
+    program is interrupted by a signal handler that also calls
+    printf(3), then the second call to printf(3) will operate on
+    inconsistent data, with unpredictable results.
+
+We fix this by replacing the `fprintf` by calls to `write`, which is
+async-signal-safe according to POSIX.
