Not sure off the top of my head what is causing that (I'll try and take a look
early next week if Pierre doesn't beat me to it)... but a general word of
caution: it will probably be rough sailing for the timeseries module until 2
things happen...

1. maskedarray merging into numpy is complete
2. timeseries is ported to a scikit

Both of these things will *probably* happen within the next couple of months. In
the mean time, sorry for the headaches.
