[Numpy-discussion] segmentation fault

[Scott Ransom]

Hmmm.  Interesting.  I'm on a 64-bit Debian Unstable system with numpy 
1.0.4 and python 2.5.2 and I don't get this:

In [1]: import numpy as np

In [2]: np.__version__
Out[2]: '1.0.4'

In [3]: def fn():
   ...:     x = np.random.rand(5,2)
   ...:     x.cumsum(None, out=x)
   ...:     return x
   ...:

In [4]: fn()
Out[4]:
array([[ 0.40329303,  0.45335328],
       [ 0.85664631,  0.84798294],
       [ 1.71329262,  0.05877989],
       [ 2.56127556,  0.99401291],
       [ 4.27456818,  0.79275409]])

Wonder if the 64-bit thing could be the difference?
