You might ask on the numpy-discussion list when the release of
numarray 1.2 is expected.  My guess is it won't be too long from now.
If it is going to be a while and this is a serious problem for your
package, you have the option of tarring up CVS yourself and/or
building a win32 installer and linking to this on your site for users
concerned about memory leaks.

There is a section of matplotlib code that depends on matrix multiply,
and I have this FAQ for memory leaks
