I think it needs to be fixed as it is a bug. The problem is that ndimage
checks types, but only by Int16, Int32, etc. On 32 bit systems and windows
Int32 is a long (type# 7) and integers (type# 5), are treated as
unrecognized types even though they are the same thing. Ndimage should
accept both types.
