Thanks for this report.   I've fixed the problem, but you should 
probably not be using these functions anymore.  These were put in place 
before the data-type objects materialized.  In the past, what is now the 
typeobject of the array scalars was thought to be the basic way to 
determine the data-type of the array. 

Now, the data-type object itself is the preferred way.  I need to figure 
out what to do with these functions now and see if they even have any 
use anymore.

What use were you making of them?

Best,
