The type object inherits `tp_alloc` from Numpy. This routine always
allocates memory of size NPY_SIZEOF_PYARRAYOBJECT for the
PyArrayObject. Therefore, the write to new->unit in your
__array_finalize__ goes to unallocated memory.
This is probably a bug in Numpy --- arrayobject.c:array_alloc should
respect the size specified by the subtype.
A workaround is probably to specify a suitable tp_alloc routine yourself:
PyType_GenericAlloc, /* tp_alloc */
unitArray_new, /* tp_new */
_PyObject_Del /* tp_free */
