well, it looks like some sort of stack corruption.

I had a second wind and I just build python+numpy without blas and 
lapack and low and behold it works:

Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Sep 23 2008, 04:25:09)
[GCC 4.2.4] on sunos5
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> from numpy import *
 >>> a = array([1,0,0,0,0,-1],dtype=complex)
 >>> a
array([ 1.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.+0.j, -1.+0.j])
 >>> roots(a)
array([-0.80901699+0.58778525j, -0.80901699-0.58778525j,
         0.30901699+0.95105652j,  0.30901699-0.95105652j, 
1.00000000+0.j        ])
 >>> ^D

So it looks like gfortran 4.2.4 on Solaris + "-O3" miscompiles lapack, 
which is honestly unbelievable considering netlib.org lapack+BLAS are 
the yard stick for any Fortran compiler.

Sorry for the noise and thanks for your help.
