Just thought I'd try this out in the latest hg HEAD and it seems the string fill
segfault issue is fixed.

>>>> a.fill(' ')
>>>> a
array([[' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' '],
       [' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' '],
       [' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' '],
       [' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' '],
       [' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' '],
       [' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' '],
       [' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' '],
       [' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' '],
       [' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' '],
       [' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ']], 
      dtype='|S1')


However, still getting odd, unprintable characters with the original example.
Would you like me to open a separate bug for that or are you just tracking it here?
