 I find that numpy has test programs in this directory:

 /usr/lib/python2.4/vendor-packages/numpy/core/tests

 Two tests seem to have failures.  test_scalarmath.py and test_numeric.py.
 The other tests seem to pass okay.  I am
 running on Solaris Nevada x86.  Are you seeing these errors on other
 platforms?

 I see the following output with the two failed tests.

 % python test_scalarmath.py

   Found 6/6 tests for __main__
 .F....
