#1598: Segfault when changing the filed names of an structured array

 The next reproduces the segfault:

 {{{
 In [1]: import numpy as np

 In [2]: np.__version__
 Out[2]: '1.5.0'

 In [3]: ra = np.fromiter(((i*3, i*2) for i in xrange(10)), dtype='i8,f8')

 In [4]: ra.dtype.names = ('f1', 'f2')

 In [5]: ra
 Segmentation fault

 }}}

 I don't know if the `names` filed of a dtype can be changed like this, but
 numpy let me do that, so...
