[SciPy-dev] Check reading the nested fields of a nested array

[Stefan van der Walt]

I've installed numpy from svn on two machines this morning, and on
both installations I see the glibc segfault.

Nils' python snippet does not reproduce the problem, however.

I attach the last output of 

 valgrind -v --error-limit=no --leak-check=full python -c 'import numpy; numpy.test()'

If I do

export GLIBCXX_FORCE_NEW=1

the tests crash simply with "Segmentation fault" instead of with

*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid next size (fast): 0x0830e828 ***
Aborted

I'll try to find a minimal snippet that reproduces the problem.

Regards
Stéfan

Probably caused by overrunning/underrunning a heap block's bounds.
