[Matrix-SIG] Core dump in NumPy when multiplying with complex numbers.

I've had a few posts with core dumps lately as I've been trying to use
NumPy quite a bit. 

The latest segmentation fault occurs when I try to multiply a Numeric
array by a complex number.

The session:

Python 1.5.1 (#1, Aug  8 1998, 13:33:40)  [GCC egcs-2.90.29 980515 (egc
on linux2
Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
>>> import Numeric       
>>> (1+0j)*Numeric.array([1,2])
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Does this happen to anyone else or is it compiler-related...?
