[Numpy-discussion] ticket #450

Hi!
Could someone comment on ticket #450
[Numpy-tickets] [NumPy] #450: Make a.min() not copy data

It seems odd that calculating the min of an array causes a memory error.
The demonstrated data array is a 3D cube of uint8 and about 1GB in size.
even  creation of an extra (2d) array when reducing the 1st dimension,
would only need about 1MB -- that can not really explain the memory
error.

Thanks,
Sebastian
