Comment(by robitaille):

 The Numpy test suite returns

 {{{
 OK (KNOWNFAIL=5, SKIP=1)
 }}}

 Where the skipped test is to do with LAPACK. So it looks like the tests
 run fine. To make sure I'm using the right revision, I ran:

 {{{
 import numpy as np
 import numpy.ma as ma

 print np.__version__

 t = ma.array(zip([1,2,3],[4,5,6]),dtype=[('a',int),('b',int)])
 print repr(t['a'])
 t['a'].set_fill_value(10)
 print repr(t['a'])
 }}}

 and I get the following output

 {{{
 1.5.0.dev8088
 masked_array(data = [1 2 3],
              mask = [False False False],
        fill_value = 999999)

 masked_array(data = [1 2 3],
              mask = [False False False],
        fill_value = 999999)
 }}}

 I also ran svn diff inside the numpy directory to check that there are no
 local modifications. I'm using Python 2.6 in 64-bit on MacOS 10.6.
