yes, before the change numpy accepted a factor 10 performance regression
in complex indexing to satisfy sparc.

There haven't been any real complaints from applications yet, only
testsuite failure of scipy.
Either the one thing that is broken in scipy isn't much used or windows
32 users aren't using 1.9 yet.
The majority of f2py should still be working, numpys own f2py testsuite
passes on win32. I still don't know what exactly arpack is doing
different but I also did not have time yet to look at the testcase david
created.

It should of course be fixed, I have an old branch with aligned
allocators lying around somewhere which should fix the issue or at least
give users a way to work around it.
