 numpy.test() has been seg faulting for about a week.  Today, I narrowed it
 down to the sequence shown here.

 With python 2.7.1 on 32 and 64 bit Red Hat Enterprise 4 :

 {{{
 >>> import numpy as np
 >>> shape = (2,4,3)
 >>> rand = np.random.random
 >>> x = rand(shape).astype(np.complex)*1j
 >>> import numpy as np
 >>>
 >>> shape = (2,4,3)
 >>> rand = np.random.random
 >>> x = rand(shape).astype(np.complex)*1j

 Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

 I got this reproduce-by by trimming down one of the setUp functions in
 core/tests/test_multiarray.py

 It does not appear to happen on RHE 5 (in python 2.7.1, 2.6.1 or 2.5.4) or
 on a Mac (in python 2.7).

 Unfortunately, I do not currently have a python with debugging symbols.
 If I have an opportunity to re-compile python, I will post more details.
