There are 4 true values in m and 4 values in w. What's the wrong length?
For the sake of clarity:
In [1]: from numpy import *
In [3]: m = [1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1]
In [4]: i = nonzero(m)[0]
In [5]: i
Out[5]: array([ 0, 6, 9, 11])
In [6]: w = array([-1, -2, -3, -4.])
In [7]: x = arange(12.)
In [8]: x.putmask(w, m)
In [9]: x
Out[9]:
array([ -1., 1., 2., 3., 4., 5., -3., 7., 8., -2., 10.,
-4.])
In [17]: x[array(m, dtype=bool)] = w
In [18]: x
Out[18]:
array([ -1., 1., 2., 3., 4., 5., -2., 7., 8., -3., 10.,
-4.])
Out[9] and Out[18] should have been the same, but elements 6 and 9 are flipped.
It's pretty clear that this is a bug in .putmask().
