Oh yes. I don't have access to Python 2.3, so I haven't been able to check
whether one dictionary update in MaskedArray.reshape would work properly (on
1.1.x, it does on 1.2).

Hmm... 70 errors. Pretty much all of them of this sort:

Pierre, I suggest you go to python.org and install python-2.3.7 instead of shooting blind. It's pretty easy if you're running linux, just be sure to end with make altinstall in case your distro has python installed in /usr/local.
