[SciPy-dev] Numpy tests crash on FC3, Py-2.4.3

[Tom Loredo]

Hi folks,

Doing housecleaning today---updating to Py 2.4.3 and the latest
numpy/scipy/mpl on a linux (FC3) box.  Alas, numpy-0.9.8 tests 
give a segfault:

>>> import numpy
>>> numpy.__version__
'0.9.8'
>>> numpy.test(1,1)
  Found 5 tests for numpy.distutils.misc_util
  Found 3 tests for numpy.lib.getlimits

  Found 13 tests for numpy.core.umath
  Found 1 tests for numpy.core.scalarmath
  Found 8 tests for numpy.lib.arraysetops
  Found 42 tests for numpy.lib.type_check
  Found 95 tests for numpy.core.multiarray
  Found 3 tests for numpy.dft.helper

More verbosely:

>>> numpy.test(10,10)
  Found 5 tests for numpy.distutils.misc_util
Warning: No test file found in /usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/numpy/core/tests for module <module

I'm guessing that since this is a release (and not from SVN), that not
all Fedora users are having this problem.  If anyone can suggest 
something that may be wrong on my end that I could fix, please let
me know.  I'm reporting it here in case it's a real bug.  I've seen
a few test failure reports in recent digests, but not on FC3.

I thought I'd next try SVN, but the latest digest message has
encouraged me to hold off a day....

-Tom
