 Hi,

 I'm getting a consistent seg fault by running this code:

 {{{
 import numpy

 print "numpy version-->", numpy.__version__
 N = 1000*1000
 a = numpy.array([1,2])
 for i in xrange(N):
     a = a[::-1]
 }}}

 and the output for my machine:

 {{{
 numpy version--> 1.0.2.dev3546
 Violació de segment
 }}}

 I need 1 million of iterations for getting the segfault, but your mileage
 may vary.
