The test code you filed with the RedHat bugzilla report at the URL you 
gave (above) does indeed produce the bug you mention in that bug 
report.  So, I now think this is not a numarray bug, but a debian/libc bug.

Thanks for your help, Steve -- I never would have found this myself.

Now thinking about how to fix my glibc...
