[Numpy-discussion] bug in fromiter - with patch

[Russel Howe]

As of SVN from this morning, fromiter cannot create an array whose dtype 
is a byte type

In [1]: np.fromiter(range(10), dtype='b')
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
MemoryError                               Traceback (most recent call last)

/Users/baxter/<ipython console> in <module>()

MemoryError: cannot allocate array memory


I am not sure how to include a test whose failure condition is the 
raising of an exception, but the patch includes the above test.
