[Numpy-discussion] Crash using "reshape"...

[Terry J. Ligocki]

I am having a problem with "reshape" crashing:

     > python
    Python 2.6.4 (r264:75706, Jan 16 2010, 21:11:47)
    [GCC 4.3.2] on linux2
    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
     >>> import numpy
     >>> numpy.version.version
    '1.6.2'
     >>> npData = numpy.ones([701,701,7899],dtype=numpy.dtype('b'))
     >>> npDataSubset = npData[[slice(0,700),slice(0,700),slice(0,5000)]]
     >>> npDataOutput = npDataSubset.reshape([700*700*5000],order='F')
    Segmentation fault

If I change the "5000" to a "4000", everything is fine.  I'm not running 
out of memory - my system had 48 GB of memory and nothing else is using 
a significant portion of this memory.

Note:  700x700x4000 = 1,960,000,000 < 2^31 and 700x700x5000 = 2450000000 
 > 2^31.  I suspect somewhere in the underlying code there is a signed 
32-bit integer being used for an index/pointer offset (this is running 
on a 64-bit machine).

I did some searching of the archives and didn't find a match for this 
problem.  Thank you for any and all help!
