 Hi,

 numpy is having problems creating recarrays from numarray columns:

 {{{
 >>> numpy.rec.array([numpy.array([1,3]),numpy.array([2,3])],
 dtype="i4,i4")
 recarray([(1, 2), (3, 3)],
       dtype='[('f0', '<i4'), ('f1', '<i4')]')   # Fine, but...
 >>> numpy.rec.array([numarray.array([1,3]),numarray.array([2,3])],
 dtype="i4,i4")
 recarray([[(-1209141984, -1209141984), (105, 4)],   # bad data!
        [(-1209141984, -1209141984), (105, 4)]],     # bad data!
       dtype='[('f0', '<i4'), ('f1', '<i4')]')

 }}}

 i.e. it seems like if array protocol is not being applied correctly when
 the sequence is made of objects that are not numpy.
