[Numpy-discussion] numpy.ma.sort failing with bus error

[Pierre GM]

Charles,
Confirmed on my machine...
I gonna have to clean ma.sort, as there are indeed some temporaries  
that probably don't need to be created. I must warn you however that I  
won;t have a lot of time to spend on that in the next few days. In any  
case, of course, I'll keep you posted.
Thx for reporting!
