Precision problem Mac OS X (PPC)

[Iain Day]

Hi,

I posted this query to the scipy list (which you may have seen). I have 
been having some precision issues with some code I've got. I've searched 
the list archives and came across these tests. SciPy and numpy are 
installed from Fink, and running on a 1.5GHz G4 with Mac os x 10.4.8.

 >>> import numpy
 >>> import scipy
 >>> numpy.__version__
'1.0'
 >>> scipy.__version__
'0.5.1'
 >>> print numpy.finfo(numpy.float32).min
-3.40282346639e+38
 >>> print numpy.finfo(numpy.float32).min, 
numpy.finfo(numpy.float32).max, numpy.finfo(numpy.float32).eps

Any thoughts? I think this is a bug? If so, where do I report it?
