Can you instead construct a test as simple as possible for this? It
sounds like you need only a two line string to reproduce this. The bug
sounds similar to http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/ticket/1689.

This simple case segfaults as well (The commented line works correctly):

import numpy as np
from StringIO import StringIO

c = StringIO(" hello \r\n world \r\n")

dt = np.dtype([('line1', '|S6'), ('line2', np.object_)])
#dt = np.dtype([('line1', '|S9'), ('line2', '|S9')])
k = np.fromstring(c.read(dt.itemsize), dt)[0]
