[Numpy-discussion] Intel Math Kernel Library "FATAL ERROR"

[Jan Tore Korneliussen]

I found that the NumPy regression test error for MKL that was reported a
while ago happens with MKL 10.0.3.020, but not with MKL 10.0.1.014
(everything else equal)

Here is a dump of the regression test on my machine with 10.0.3.020
