Comment (by charris):

 I think it is a problem in copy. Note that the high bit isn't actually set
 because randint(2**20) is always less than 2**20.


 {{{
 In [96]: x = zeros((500000,2), dtype=int64)

 In [97]: for i in xrange(500000) : x[i,0] = random.randint(2**20) << 43
    ....:

 In [98]: y = x[:,0]

 In [99]: alltrue(x[:,0] == y)
 Out[99]: True

 In [100]: y = x[:,0].copy()

 In [101]: alltrue(x[:,0] == y)
 Out[101]: False

 }}}
