Hmm.  I see where this error could come from (I was not clearing the 
error if the__array_offset__ was not present in the array protocol 
consumer code).

What I don't see is why this function was calling the array protocol --- 
oh, wait I guess we are really testing against the old Numeric and FFT 
functions (if they are present).   I did not realize that.  I suppose 
that is not a bad idea.  That would definitely require the array 
interface to convert the Numeric arrays to scipy ones.

At any rate, I've fixed the problem.
