Comment (by david cournapeau):

 (sorry for the bad formatting) The clip function segfaults when using a
 out argument which does not have the expected type:

 {{{
 #!python
 import numpy as N
 a = N.linspace(0, 10, 100).astype(numpy.int32)
 m = N.int32(0) M = N.int32(1)
 # works
 a.clip(m, M)
 b = N.zeros(a.shape, dtype = N.int32)
 # works a.clip(m, M, out = b)
 b = N.zeros(a.shape, dtype = N.int64)
 # always segfaults
 a.clip(m, M, out = b)
 }}}

 This is with a recent SVN numpy ('1.0.2.dev3510').
