[SciPy-Dev] scipy 0.9.0 scipy.test fails with segmentation fault

Wed Sep 21 08:32:47 EDT 2011

Hi, 

I have no solution to offer :-(

But perhaps a related issue on gentoo. 
I have pasted the result of running scipy.test() with gdb output.
We found superlu or libatlas to be involved but could not figure out more.
I opend a scipy ticket (see below) but I am not sure if it is scipy's fault after all.
