Component:  Other             |     Version:          
 Severity:  minor             |    Keywords:          
------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 I made a mistake in my code by giving an axis argument instead of the
 expected size argument in numpy.fft.fft: this resulted in segfault.

 {{{
 #!python
 from numpy import fft
 fft(random.randn(10, 2), 0)
 }}}

 ->segfaults

 {{{
 #!python
 from numpy import fft
 fft(random.randn(10, 2), -1)
 }}}

 ->100% CPU, and fails with floating point excetpion

 I understand the arguments does not make any sense, but would it be
 possible to detect this ?
