 Priority:  highest       |   Milestone:  1.3.0

 Severity:  normal        |    Keywords:

 I create the following two arrays as follows:

 X = np.asarray([[0,1,2],[3,4,5]]).astype('uint8')
 x = X[:, 0] ## x == array([0, 3])

 I then pass X to a C routine that attempts to create another view on
 X[:,0] using:

 npy_intp dim[1] = {2};
 npy_intp strides[1] = {3};
 int itemsize = 1;
 PyArrayObject* y = (PyArrayObject*) PyArray_New(&PyArray_Type, 1, dim,
 type, strides,
                                                 (void*)PyArray_DATA(X),
 itemsize, NPY_CARRAY, NULL);

 While I expect y to be equal to x, the result is array([ 0,  1]), which
 would have been the expected result if I had set the 'strides' argument to
 1. I am running numpy version 1.3.0.dev6468.

 I have been using PyArray_New for 3 years in similar context with devel
 versions of numpy, and only caught that weird behavior recently.
