Can you check to see which check-in caused the problem.  Go back to 
revision 2403, 2402, and so forth.

Also, please remove the build directory and the installed numpy to be 
sure changes to the C-API are not causing problems.

The trace-back is not really giving a clue.  Perhaps if you ran under 
valgrind better help could be given.  Are there any warnings emmitted 
during compilation?


Could somebody else with a 64-bit system verify?
