Hi Ryan,

    This is the first time I heard of this problem. I guess you checked
the obvious (do you have enough ram). What is your platform exactly ?
Did you check your installer is ok ? Something I should have done is to
provide for a checksum: here is the checksum for the time being:

ad603ad13cf403fbf394d7e3eba8b996  numpy-1.2.0-win32-superpack-python2.5.exe

No.
