[SciPy-dev] Segfault

[Nils Wagner]

Hi all,

I am going to visualize the sparsity pattern of large matrices using
numpy/scipy/matplotlib.
I received a segfault running the following script

from pylab import show, plot, axis, xlabel, subplot, title, spy
from scipy import *

K = io.mmread('k.mtx')
M = io.mmread('m.mtx')
print 'Reading finished'

K = K.todense()
spy(K)
show()


Starting program: /usr/bin/python matrixstructure.py
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
[New Thread 16384 (LWP 13423)]
Reading finished

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Any idea how to fix this problem ?
