Thanks for helping me with this.

To give a little more information on what "Sufficiently recent"
means:

1. numarray-1.4.1 supports that numarray.asarray() function, but
   gives a warning message the first time it is called on a scipy
   array and produces a type error when used to pass a scipy
   array to PyTables.

2. numarray-1.5.0 works just fine.  It is available at:

       http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy
       http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=518279
