     Type:  defect      |      Status:  new     
 Priority:  normal      |   Milestone:          
Component:  numpy.ma    |     Version:  devel

------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 The following example fails:

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

 arr = ma.zeros((5),dtype=[('a',np.float32,3)])
 np.isnan(arr['a'])
 }}}

 giving:

 {{{
