ix_ problem changing input arrays?

[Scott Ransom]

I believe that ix_() has recently begun modifying the shapes of its 
input arrays.  For instance:

Python 2.4.4c0 (#2, Jul 30 2006, 18:20:12)
[GCC 4.1.2 20060715 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-9)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import numpy as N
>>> a = N.array([1,2,3])
>>> b = N.array([7,6,5,4])
>>> ax, bx = N.ix_(a, b)
>>> a
array([[1],
       [2],
       [3]])
>>> b
array([[7, 6, 5, 4]])
>>> N.__version__
'1.0.dev3379'

Is this intended behaviour?

Thanks,

Scott
