Tiziano Zito committed a fix in revision 5193 http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/scipy/changeset/5193 for ticket 593: http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/scipy/ticket/593 Nils reported that it fixed the problem for him. Can anyone else who was having this problem confirm that r5193 fixes it? If I don't hear anything to the contrary I will assume that we can close this ticket?
