[Numpy-discussion] Re: numpy crash on numpy.tri(-1)

[Bill Baxter]

Sorry about the lack of detail.  The platform is Windows.  I'm using
binaries off the Scipy website.
And by crash I mean a dialog pops up in my pycrust shell saying
"pythonw.exehas encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are
sorry for the
inconvenience", and then asks me if I want to send Microsoft an error
report.

Perhaps it is fixed in a more recent version of numpy, though.
