Excellent!

With revision 2454 I get a segfault in numpy.test() after importing
numpy.core.scalarmath:

check_1 (numpy.distutils.tests.test_misc_util.test_appendpath) ... ok
check_2 (numpy.distutils.tests.test_misc_util.test_appendpath) ... ok
check_3 (numpy.distutils.tests.test_misc_util.test_appendpath) ... ok
check_gpaths (numpy.distutils.tests.test_misc_util.test_gpaths) ... ok
check_1 (numpy.distutils.tests.test_misc_util.test_minrelpath) ... ok
check_singleton (numpy.lib.tests.test_getlimits.test_double)
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Is this helpful?
