Comment:

 I could reproduce this with MinGW 5.1.6.

 The function call "fdopen(fd2, mode)" in line 181 of npy_3kcompat.h
 returns NULL even though the input parameters seem correct. As a
 consequence the result of the npy_PyFile_Dup call in line 1694 of
 multiarraymodule.c is NULL and the exception is raised.

 Could this be related to mixing two different C runtime libraries:
 msvcrt90/Python and msvcrt/mingw? Even though the -lmsvcr90 linker option
 is set, the resulting pyd files depend on the two runtime dlls.

 I'll try the get_osfhandle workaround mentioned at
