I agree with you, the problem is that I do not use directly C functions and
that I do not know how I can reproduce the result with a minimal example.
I know I've had once a Numpy problem that was solved by recompiling Numpy
completely, but here, I do not possess a first clue to help me track this
bug.

The reason to get out of python is that tools like valgrind can only

Compltely agreed.
