[SciPy-user] scipy.special.kv

[Alastair Basden]

Hi,
I have just installed scipy on a x86_64 machine (version 0.6.0) and am 
having problems with scipy.special:

>>> import numpy,scipy.special
>>> scipy.special.kv(11./6,numpy.ones((10,),numpy.float64))
array([ 1.32606705,  1.32606705,  1.32606705,  1.32606705,  1.32606705,
         1.32606705,  1.32606705,  1.32606705,  1.32606705,  1.32606705])
>>> scipy.special.kv(11./6,numpy.ones((10,),numpy.float64))
array([  1.25795758e+177,   1.25795758e+177,   1.25795758e+177,
          1.25795758e+177,   1.25795758e+177,   1.25795758e+177,
          1.25795758e+177,   1.25795758e+177,   1.25795758e+177,
          1.25795758e+177])

Can anyone tell me why the results are different each time?  (the first 
set are almost in agreement with other installations, but the second set, 
which should be the same, are well out).

numpy version is 1.0.4 (ie latest).

Thanks...
