Matplotlib 0.87.2 incompatible with numpy 0.9.8

[ago]

I was not able to make matplotlib 0.87.2 work with numpy 0.9.8 (there
is an error in multiarray.pyd that crashes python). I have noticed that
there is a new version 0.87.3, but I was waiting for the windows
egg/exe version for python 2.4. I tried to compile from sources with
little luck. Does the version 0.87.3 fix the problem? When will the
egg/exe be released?
