 Using numpy devel with Python 3.2 gives an unexpected result trying to
 initialize an array from numpy string objects.  This is a regression from
 previous behavior (devel prior to about two weeks ago and 1.6.1).

 devel:

 {{{
 >>> d = np.array(['a'])
 >>> np.asarray([d[0]])
 array([''],
       dtype='<U0')
 }}}

 In numpy 1.6.1:

 {{{
 >>> d = np.array(['a'])
 >>> np.asarray([d[0]])
 array(['a'],
       dtype='<U1')
 }}}

 If one uses a longer string like "abcd" instead of "a" then the result is
 "ab", so it looks like the actual output length is // 2 from the desired
 length.  Perhaps this is related to:
