[Numpy-discussion] Error in deallocation ?

The error showed up again with a simple operation :
  File "/home/brucher/local/src/include/toolbox/stats/kernels/gaussian.py",
line 60, in __call__
    xp = (x-self.loc) * (1/self.scale)
Where x and self.loc are arrays abd self.scale is an integer.

The error as it was given :

*** Reference count error detected:
an attempt was made to deallocate 7 (l) ***
*** Reference count error detected:
an attempt was made to deallocate 7 (l) ***
*** Reference count error detected:
an attempt was made to deallocate 7 (l) ***

I don't know if it is too many INCREF, but I doubt it. It happens in a loop
where I treat a bunch of 3D images each time (64*64*64*3), and it crashes
after some dozens of them. I have no problem when I treat small 2D images
(128*128), but far more samples.
