I get what Stéfan  gets:

In [32]: res = np.array((2**31,), dtype=np.float32)

In [33]: res > 2**31-1
Out[33]: array([ True], dtype=bool)

In [34]: res[0] > 2**31-1
Out[34]: True

In [35]: res[0].dtype
Out[35]: dtype('float32')


In [36]: np.__version__
Out[36]: '1.6.1'

(OS-X, Intel, Python2.7)


Something is very odd with your build!
