 This issue was reported at <http://mail.scipy.org/pipermail/numpy-
 discussion/2011-March/055269.html>.

 The following code crashes with numpy 1.5.x on Windows using official or
 self compiled binaries for Python 3.x:

 {{{
 import numpy
 numpy.recarray((1,), [('i', [('j', 'i4')], 2)]).data
 }}}

 The code works correctly with numpy 1.5.x on Python 2.x and also with
 numpy 1.6.0dev on Python 3.x.

 The crash is during the 'data' attribute lookup. The 'i' attribute can be
 accessed without crash, e.g. the following works:

 {{{
 numpy.recarray((1,), [('i', [('j', 'i4')], 2)]).i
 numpy.recarray((1,), [('i', [('j', 'i4')], 2)]).i.j
 }}}
