This is irksome. Can you tell me if this is the same on Linux:

In [4]: scipy.special.round is scipy.special.cephes.round
Out[4]: True

There seem to be two tests in test_basic.py, one for 
special.cephes.round() and this one for just special.round(). Both tests 
now expect x.5-rounds-to-nearest-even, but this one is the only one 
that's failing on Linux.
