#1999: fromiter swallows exceptions
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  ged         |       Owner:  somebody   
     Type:  defect      |      Status:  new        
 Priority:  normal      |   Milestone:  Unscheduled
Component:  numpy.core  |     Version:  none       
 Keywords:  fromiter    |  
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 numpy.fromiter with a count argument hides any exception that might be
 raised by the iterator as: ValueError: iterator too short

 This is quite annoying because it makes for a totally
 ununderstandable/unrelated exception in many cases.

 This was already reported on the mailing list by Åsmund Hjulstad a few
 months ago but AFAIK nobody ever answered him.

 This bug is present in numpy 1.6.1 but I think it has been there for quite
 a while.

 See attached test case.
