I've also been having trouble with flat on object arrays.

Is this intended?

In [1]: from numpy import *

In [2]: a = arange(2)

In [3]: a[1]
Out[3]: 1

In [4]: a.flat[1]
Out[4]: 1

In [5]: b = array([a], dtype=object)

In [6]: b[1]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
exceptions.IndexError                                Traceback (most
recent call last)

IndexError: index out of bounds

In [7]: b.flat[1]
Out[7]: 1

Best,

Matthew
