Usually such mysterious segfaults are cause by building
scipy against different (older) Numeric headers than
was used for building Numeric.

Could you confirm that by checking whether installed
Numeric header files correspond to ones in the 
Numeric source tree or not? E.g.

ls -l /path/to/src/Numeric-23.0/Include/Numeric/
ls -l /usr/local/include/python2.2/Numeric/

Also using `python -v` or importing libwadpy might give 
more information on the source of these crashes.
