Comment (by oliphant):

 Can you show the output of o1.flags and o.dtype.alignment and
 o1.dtype.alignment

 This looks like an alignment issue,  Does the error depend on the second
 field being 'i1'?  What if it is 'i2', or 'i4'?  Could you test those
 cases as well (showing the output of the above commands).  Is this a
 32-bit or 64-bit Solaris system?

 I'm going to need a bit of guidance on this one to track it down, I think.
