     Type:  defect    |      Status:  new     
 Priority:  normal    |   Milestone:  2.0.0   
Component:  numpy.ma  |     Version:  devel   
 Keywords:            |  
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 When a MaskedArray's data are a record array,, string representation fails
 with a ValueError as the mask does not contain the mapping of field names
 that the data does.

 It appears the records are not carried on to the mask.
