Did you recently upgraded Numeric? May be scipy was built using
older version of Numeric headers (IMHO, it's a known distutils problem
that when upgrading Numeric, distutils does not update Numeric header
files). So, check that the Numeric header files installed in your system 
correspond to the Numeric version you are using.

Use `python -v`  to find out at what point the import segfaults.
