Copied from this comment in gh-15759:

I don't get an error on import. The code added in _mac_os_check() in __init__.py in doesn't crash when I run it

However, the system in question (Mac OS 10.12.6 (Sierra)) does fail one of the tests:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from numpy.lib.tests.test_polynomial import TestPolynomial
>>> tst = TestPolynomial()
>>> tst.test_polyfit()
python3(18846,0x7fffa26593c0) malloc: *** mach_vm_map(size=18446744073373515776) failed (error code=3)
*** error: can't allocate region
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
init_dgelsd failed init

The test at import is meant to catch the warning emitted during that test. @WarrenWeckesser which of the allocations in that test triggers the warning? @vrakesh could you verify the warning is generated on your machine as well and adapt the test in _mac_os_check accordingly to catch more cases?
