Comment(by jmiessner):

 Sorry guys, this dropped off my radar. I'm stuck on a behind-schedule
 project, so I don't have time to figure out how to use git on Windows. I'm
 hoping someone else can manage it for me. The following describes the
 differences between numpy 1.6.1 and the fixes I made.[[BR]][[BR]]
 I'm not even going to try to fix the original issue - use of the copy-
 paste anti-pattern. I had to get this working in a hurry. That's the way
 things always are at my company.[[BR]][[BR]]
