Fixed tst_selftests on OSX 10.7

Our OSX 10.7 test machines send a SIGILL rather than a SIGSEGV to a
process which attempts to dereference a null pointer.

Change the "crashes" test to dereference an invalid pointer with a
value slightly greater than 0 so that we get the same crash behavior on
all (unix) platforms.
