The current master, and reverted for the 1.8 release only, is stricter
about np.bool only taking values 0 or 1. Apparently the convolve returns
boolean (I haven't checked) for boolean input, and consequently the check
if the return value matches the number of 1 elements in the convolution
kernel will fail when that number is greater than one. That is why the
proposed fix is to view the boolean as uint8 instead. Note that
out=(boolean) will still cause problems.
