This seems still to be an issue, it is files as ticket 116 but no 
workaround or fix was proposed until know.

I face this problem as I updated scipy last. I suppose others using 
scipy.io may have the same problem. I personally worked around by 
writing an own "tofile-like" method using the numpy.ndarray.tofile method.
I do not want to stress you but:
- Do you have a better workaround for solving the problem?
- Are there plans to fix this ticked in some way in the next release?
