Comment(by warren.weckesser):

 I'm getting burned by this in a project that I'm updating from numpy 1.5.1
 to 1.6.1.  The simplified code that triggers the crash is:

 {{{
 x = np.memmap('stuff.dat', dtype=np.uint8, mode='r')
 y = x[::2]
 print np.nanmin(y)   # Segfaults
 }}}

 This does not segfault in 1.5.1.
