#1692: numpy.array segfaults on binary image from Python Imaging Library

 When I try to convert a binary image loaded with the Python Imaging
 Library (version 1.1.7) using numpy (version 2.0.0.dev-12d0200), numpy
 segfaults. If I convert the image to 8-bit first, numpy can load it fine.

 {{{

 >>> print im

 >>> imd = numpy.array(im)
 Segmentation fault
 }}}

 If I convert the image to 8-bit first, there is no problem:

  [255 255 255 ..., 255 255 255]
  [255 255 255 ..., 255 255 255]]
 }}}

 If I load a BMP instead of a PNG (also written by PIL), the same segfault
 occurs:

 >>> numpy.array(im)
 Segmentation fault
 }}}

 I have attached lsm.png (784 KiB).
