[Numpy-discussion] Memory leak in ndarray, more info

Hi all I recently posted about a memory leak in numpy and failed to mention the version. The leak manifests itself in numpy-1.0.3.1 but is not present in numpy-1.0.2 The following code reproduces the bug: import numpy as np a = np.array([1.0, 2.0, 3.0]) while True: b = str(a) What happens above is that is repeatedly converted to a string. The process size grow quite rapidly. Has anyone else come across this? Where do I look to try to correct it? Thanks Robert
