#9 Linux/x86 RC4 issue: bundled numpy fails

[James Hester]

The version of numpy bundled with fable on Linux/x86 fails if the host python library was compiled with a different unicode setting (choices are ucs2 or ucs4). On my debian system, libpython2.5.so.1.0 is UCS4, but multiarray.so seems to be UCS2, leading to a symbol not found error:
