[SciPy-dev] scipy.sparse.linalg segfaults for complex data

[Jake VanderPlas]

Hello,
I just opened a ticket for this problem (#1067), but I'd like to get
this out to the list.  I've found that the iterative solvers in
scipy.sparse.linalg produce Segmentation Faults for complex inputs.
Below is a simple example (for scipy v0.7.1).  Should these functions
support complex data?  If not, does anyone know a good way to solve
general linear systems for complex input?  I say general because I
don't actually have a matrix per se, but a LinearOperator which
implements its matvec method using scipy.fftpack.
Thanks
   Jake
