 A strange error follows. The next works just fine:

 {{{

 In [102]:x1=numpy.array([[1,2],[3,4]])
 In [103]:x2=numpy.array(['a','dd'])
 In [104]:x3=numpy.array([1.1,2])
 In [105]:numpy.rec.fromarrays([x1,x2,x3], formats="(2,)i4,a3,f8")
 Out[105]:
 recarray([(array([1, 2]), 'a', 1.1000000000000001), (array([3, 4]), 'dd',
 2.0)],
       dtype=[('f1', '<i4', (2,)), ('f2', '|S3'), ('f3', '<f8')])
 }}}

 But:

 {{{
 In [109]:x1=numpy.array([[1,2],[3,4],[5,6]])
 In [110]:x2=numpy.array(['a','dd','xyz'])
 In [111]:x3=numpy.array([1.1,2,3])
 In [112]:numpy.rec.fromarrays([x1,x2,x3], formats="(2,)i4,a3,f8")
