[SciPy-user] [OpenOpt] Segmentation fault

[dmitrey]

hi Emanuele,
I have no idea and I have no experience of working with core dump files.
I can only guess that it's related to numpy (since OO have no other than 
python code). IIRC there ware some troubles with numpy version from 
channels (IIRC release 1.0.5) (however, other troubles with other 
output), AFAIK both Nils and I have numpy from latest svn.

Regards, D.
