Yes. I used a fresh compiled Scipy 0.3.2 and Python 2.4 with latest
py.test on SuSE 9.2 linux.

Example:

class TestClass:

    def test_scipy(self):
        import scipy
        assert 1==1

Report:
===============================================================================
scipy_________test_pytest.py[1] segmentation fault


It seems to be a problem in scipy_base.
Here is what i did:

in scipy_base/__init__.py comment out:
	from index_tricks import *
	from function_base import *
	from polynomial import *
	from scimath import *

in common.py remove amin, amax, extract, insert, poly1d, r_ from the
"from scipy_base import" statement

in pilutil.py remove amin, amax, mgrid from the "from scipy_base import"
statement

Now the little testcase runs without a segfault.
Hope this works for you.
