[Numpy-discussion] crash at prompt exit after running test

[Johann Cohen-Tanugi]

I have tried to localize the core dump in vain.... any idea where I 
should look for it?
I did not manage to catch it with pdb :
[cohen@jarrett ~]$ .local/bin/ipython
Python 2.6.2 (r262:71600, Jan 25 2010, 18:46:45)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

help      -> Python's own help system.
object?   -> Details about 'object'. ?object also works, ?? prints more.

Do you really want to exit ([y]/n)?

Note that I have several warnings during test():
Warning: divide by zero encountered in power
Warning: divide by zero encountered in power
Warning: divide by zero encountered in power
...............................................................................Warning: 
invalid value encountered in sqrt
..Warning: invalid value encountered in sqrt
etc....
I dont think it is related though....
