Comment:

 The problem is that oldnumeric.Int32 is 'i'  which is the typecode used by
 Numeric.Int32.  Because oldnumeric.Int32 is a backward-compatibility name
 it *has* to be the same character it was in Numeric.Int32 which is 'i'.

 The problems in scipy.ndimage are because it was/is not 64-bit clean to
 begin with.
