True indeed.

My python (2.4.3) was compiled from source for PPC, and before  
building scipy with g77, I switched to gcc3.3. (This is how I used to  
build scipy before it got better compatibility with gfortran on PPC  
macs.) Anyhow, I was just providing another data point about the  
failure I'd seen -- not sure if it was useful or not.
