Comment (by cookedm):

 I don't get the segfault (w/ OS X), but I can reproduce the non-
 reproducibility of the results (which is of course bad). I also get

 {{{
 >>> numpy.sqrt(numpy.array([2.0], dtype=numpy.complex256))
 array([1.6800899e-4932+4.2271234e-4940j], dtype=complex256)
 }}}

 Also problems with other functions like sin.
