 How to reproduce this bug.[[BR]]

 # Environment #[[BR]]

 I tested both of Ubuntu providing version and source compiled version.
 Both of them give same error.[[BR]]

 {{{
 from numpy import *

 ''' Regardless of specific array, it always give a false result. '''
 x = array([0,1,2,3])
 x.tofile('test.output')
 y = fromfile('test.output')
 print x == y # The result is False
 print y # The result is array([  4.24399158e-314,   8.48798317e-314])

 ''' Interestingly, results of repeated tofile and fromfile give same
 results '''
 y.tofile('test.output2')
 z = fromfile('test.output2')
 print y == z # The result is True !!!
 print z # The result is array([  4.24399158e-314,   8.48798317e-314])
