Comment:

 Attempting to diagnose this problem, I can reproduce it with the following
 lines:

 {{{
 ## Truncates to type '|S8'
 array(array(['looooooool'],dtype=object),dtype='S')

 ## These three don't truncate
 array(array(['looooooool'],dtype=object),dtype='|S10')
 array(array(['looooooool']),dtype='S')
 array(array(['looooooool']))
 }}}

 so I'm not sure if the bug is in vectorize itself or if in array. Is the
 truncation above desirable?
