[Numpy-discussion] non-intuitive behaviour for isbyteswapped()?

With numarray 1.0 and Mandrake 10 i686 I get the following:

>>> y=N.array([1,1,2,1],type="Float64")
>>> y
array([ 1.,  1.,  2.,  1.])
>>> y.byteswap()
>>> y
array([  3.03865194e-319,   3.03865194e-319,   3.16202013e-322,
         3.03865194e-319])
>>> y.isbyteswapped()
0

Should this be 1?

Thanks, Phil
