I'm using the exact same compiler, here's my session:

Python 1.5.2b1 (#2, Dec 22 1998, 00:47:40)  [GCC egcs-2.90.29 980515 (egc on linux2
Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
>>> import Numeric 
>>> (1+0j)*Numeric.array([1,2])
array([ 1.+0.j,  2.+0.j])

We've got to get to the bottom of these NumPy core-dumps.  I'm working 
on it...
