[Numpy-discussion] Is it a bug ?

[Jean-Bernard Addor]

Hey Numeric people!

I am just upgrading to a more recent version of Numeric and observe a new
behaviour:

Python 1.5.2 (#9, May 30 2000, 15:08:12)  [GCC 2.95.2 19991024 (release)]
on linux2
Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
Hello from .pythonrc.py
>>> import Numeric
>>> Numeric.__version__
'11'
>>> Numeric.arange(2)*1j
Segmentation fault

Python 1.5.1 (#1, Dec 17 1998, 20:58:15)  [GCC 2.7.2.3] on linux2
Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
Hello from .pythonrc.py
>>> import Numeric
>>> Numeric.__version__ 
'1.7'
>>> Numeric.arange(2)*1j
array([ 0.+0.j,  0.+1.j])

Am I hitting that bug?
