[Numpy-discussion] Dumping record arrays

[Pierre GM]

Folks, 
I'd like to dump/pickle some record arrays. The pickling works, the unpickling 
raises a ValueError (on my version of numpy 0.9.6). (cf below).
Is this already corrected in the svn version ?
Thx

x3 = array([3.1, 4.5, 6.2])
r = rec.fromarrays([x1,x2,x3], names='id, word, number')

r.dump('dumper')
rb=load('dumper')
