Yep, that's it.  I can reproduce it with an old Numeric and a newish
numpy/scipy.  The combination of versions below exposes the problem if
your rc setting is Numeric.  Either of the suggested changes I made in
my last post will fix your problem.

In [5]: import numpy; numpy.__version__ Out[5]: '0.9.6.2138'

In [6]: import scipy; scipy.__version__
Out[6]: '0.4.7.1617'

In [7]: import Numeric; Numeric.__version__
Out[7]: '23.1'
