Hello all, As per my previous email, I encountered a strange sometimes-segfault when using 'numpy.array(thing)' to convert 'thing' (which provides an __array_interface__) to a numpy array.
The offending __array_interface__ has a 'data' item that is a python string (not, as specified in the protocol, a pointer to a memory area) which is too small for the provided array size. Which, in some cases, causes a segfault. Is this a bug? That is, should numpy check the size of the 'data' (when 'data' is in fact a sized python object and not just a bare pointer) against the size of the array and provided typestr? Or is this too much of a corner case to deal with...
