[Numpy-discussion] Fresh svn numpy install fails 2 tests (OS X)

[Steve Lianoglou]

Hi folks,

Since 1.0 release is eminent, I just wanted to draw the attention to  
two failures I get when I run numpy.test(1).

I've never been able to get numpy to pass all test cases, but now it  
fails a second one, so .. I'm pasting it below. Please let me know if  
these are non-consequential.

System info:
	+ Intel Mac (MacBook Pro)
	+ OS X.4.7
	+ numpy version: 1.0.2881

test failures:
