 If I type numpy.log(2**63), I get the expected answer of 42.975.


 If I type numpy.log(2**64), I get:

 AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call
 last)
 /Users/sabae/<ipython-input-40-d6bd9063dbbc> in <module>()
 ----> 1 np.log(2**63)

 AttributeError: log

 My numpy.version.version says "1.6.1", but that is not an option in the
 dropdown box, so I've set it to "devel"
