[PYTHON MATRIX-SIG] Yet another way to crash the interpreter.

[tim@lassi.ece.uiuc.edu]

Hi,

Here's one more:  Numeric's sqrt doesn't work with long its. And other
Numerical stuff seems to crash the interpreter when combined with long
ints. For example:

>>> from Numeric import *
>>> sqrt(4l)
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: attribute-less object
>>> 4/arange(1,3)
4 2
>>> 4l/arange(1,3)
Segmentation fault

...Later

>>> from Numeric import *
>>> 4l*arange(1,3)
Segmentation fault
