[Matrix-SIG] NumPy core dump

Using Numeric version 1.5, from the LLNLPython6 distribution, on top
of Python1.5.2b1, the following piece of code causes a core-dump:

from Numeric import *
AM = fromfunction(lambda x:sin(x*pi/512))

I know the code is incorrect (missing second arg. to fromfunction) but
shouldn't this raise an exception rather than dumping core?
