[PYTHON MATRIX-SIG] Numerical exception handling

[James Hugunin]

Interestingly enough, I'd received private mail about this bug hours
before this was posted to the list.

   From: Brien Barton <barton@simsg1.mdc.com>

   My apologies if this has already been covered.  The following is a
   demonstration of an error that is not handled gracefully when using array
   objects:

       >>> b=array([1,2,3])
       >>> b.x=10
       Fatal Python error: print_error called but no exception
       Abort (core dumped)

This will be fixed in the next release (which should be coming out
shortly after the python workshop).
