 Reporter:  albertstrasheim  |       Owner:  somebody   
     Type:  defect           |      Status:  new        
 Priority:  normal           |   Milestone:  1.0 Release
Component:  numpy.core       |     Version:  devel      
 Severity:  normal           |    Keywords:             
-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
 When running the following code:

 {{{
 #!python
 import numpy as np
 import scipy as sp
 from scipy.interpolate import interp1d
 print np.__version__
 print sp.__version__
 x10 = np.arange(10.)
 y210 = np.arange(20.).reshape((2, 10))
 interp210 = interp1d(x10, y210)
 interp210(1.5)
 }}}

 Valgrind emits the following warning on 32-bit Linux:
 {{{

 Similar warning on 64-bit Linux:

 {{{

 Tested with Valgrind 3.1.0 and 3.2.1. Used !NumPy 1.0.dev3217 and !SciPy
 0.5.2.dev2254 on 64-bit system. Used  !NumPy 1.0.dev3315 and !SciPy
 0.5.2.dev2241 on 32-bit system.
