I know that Numeric is no longer maintained, but since this bug cost
me two sleepless nights, I think it is appropriate to announce the bug
and the fix to the list.

Summary: [Numeric] "put" into object array corrupts memory
Initial Comment:
This is one of those bugs that are easier to fix than to reproduce:
$ cat test-put.py
class A(object):
def __del__(self): print "deleting %r" % self
a = A()
from Numeric import *
x = array([None], 'O')
y = array([a], 'O')
put(x,[0],y)
del a,y
print "exiting"
$ python test-put.py
deleting <__main__.A object at 0xf7e4d24c>
exiting
Fatal Python error: deletion of interned string failed
Aborted (core dumped)
Numeric version: 24.2
