Hi, There is segfault reported here:
http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/ticket/1588 I've managed to isolate the problem and even provide a simple patch, that fixes it here: https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/398 however the patch simply doesn't decrease the proper reference, so it might leak. I've used bisection (took the whole evening unfortunately...) but the good news is that I've isolated commits that actually broke it. See the github issue #398 for details, diffs etc. Unfortunately, it's 12 commits from Mark and the individual commits raise exception on the segfaulting code, so I can't pin point the problem further. In general, how can I debug this sort of problem? I tried to use valgrind, with a debugging build of numpy, but it provides tons of false (?) positives: https://gist.github.com/3549063 Mark, by looking at the changes that broke it, as well as at my "fix", do you see where the problem could be? I suspect it is something with the changes in PyArray_FromAny() or PyArray_FromArray() in ctors.c. But I don't see anything so far that could cause it. Thanks for any help. This is one of the issues blocking the 1.7.0 release.
