-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 For no good reason, numpy.gradient does not support ndarray subclasses,
 like masked arrays.  This is due to the use of numpy.zeros on line 822,
 instead of using something like numpy.zeros_like().

 Changing zeros to zeros_like allows the function to return arrays of the
 proper subclass.

 Also, while the function makes an effort to determine a floating point
 type for the output array (805-807), it was not actually using this type.
 I've corrected this as well.
