I have build scipy 0.7.1 against numpy 1.3.0, and then tested the
installed scipy when run against numpy trunk, and I did not get any
crash.

It would be nice to have a way to test this automatically - the recent
changes I have made to track API changes should hopefully be more
robust, but there is no way to guarantee that we did not change more
subtle problems like struct changing their layout, etc... without a
thorough test of our C API.

cheers,
