Hi Paul, Thanks for taking care of this release.
I will take care of the backport for expm since I am the one who
reported the issue.
I have noticed some issues with numpy 1.9.1 + scipy 0.14.x using the
MKL (hard crases in scipy.linalg.interpolative). I am still figuring out whether this is coming from a bug in our end or something genuine.David
Hi David, I'm curious whether or not you got to the bottom of the MKL crash, and what version of the MKL you're using? I recently was experiencing random segfaults in the MKL interpolation routine with version 11.1.0.103 using cython wrappers on Win64, Python 2.7. Whilst I could reliably reproduce the segfault, it only happened at random times when under heavy load in a large simulation and I couldn't isolate a minimal test case. Although I would normally consider that it's much more likely to be a problem with my cython wrappers upgrading to MKL 11.2 solved the problem and it has been solid as a rock ever since. -Dave
