Thanks Ralf. This closes the issue for me.
FYI
When I set the precision to 4 I am able to repeat the test failure otherwise
not. Its a bit odd the precision was changed somehow when I originally ran
numpy.test() because I know that I didn't directly do that myself.
>>> numpy.get_printoptions()
{'infstr': 'inf', 'threshold': 1000, 'suppress': False, 'linewidth': 75,
'edgeitems': 3, 'precision': 8, 'nanstr': 'nan'}
