Ok, I made a patch which makes strides/shape to be Py_ssize_t arrays
instead of npy_intp, and create temporary buffers when
sizeof(Py_ssize_t) != sizeof(npy_intp_t). I have not tested it
thouroughly, but it made the tests which failed work on python 2.4 on
RHEL 64 bits.

Can I have an account to put the mercurial bundle somewhere ?

cheers,
