 Hi,

 Valgrind is detecting this in some tests of mine:

 Is self.base being always initialized properly? This is using pure !NumPy
 (i.e. without doing conversions with array protocol). I'm using r3428, so
 the affected line should be seen in:

 source:/trunk/numpy/core/src/arrayobject.c#3428

 Sorry, but again, this come without a code snippet :(
