Comment(by cgohlke):

 The tofile() call hangs in numpy\core\src\multiarray\convert.c line 84:
 {{{
             n = fwrite((const void *)self->data,
                     (size_t) self->descr->elsize,
                     (size_t) size, fp);
 }}}

 This seems to be the reason: [http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-
