Comment(by mwiebe):

 Based on what this says:

 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2054939/char-is-signed-or-unsigned-by-
 default

 it's a bug to assume that 'char' is signed. These tables should all be
 changed from 'char' to 'signed char' to fix it.

 I took a look in npy_common.h and there it does "typedef signed char
 npy_int8", so clearly this has been accounted for before.
