Thanks much for this testing.

Could you send the entire build log again.  Perhaps there is something 
else.
I've made a fix which should work better on 64-bit. 

More 64-bit testing needed.

One trick to test the buffered section of code using smaller arrays is 
to set the buffer size to something very small (but a multiple of 16 --- 
16 is the smallest).   For arrays smaller than the buffer size, array's 
are just copied when a cast is needed.  But, for larger arrays, the 
buffered code is exercised.

For example:

scipy.setbufsize(16)
scipy.test(1,1)

At some-point we might play with different buffer sizes to see if some 
numbers are better than others.
