Where are you getting the examples dir from?  I notice that I failed
to upload a zip file that includes the examples directory with the
0.54.2 release.  Are you using one from a previous release?

It looks like you make have a corrupt stock data file.  I was able to
load the stock_demo example using both the numeric and numarray win32
builds, with either numerix setting in my rc file.

I did, however, discover a bug in the navigation code in that example
related to data clipping.

The zip file below fixes the latter problem.  Unzip it in your
site-packages dir (do not remove the old matplotlib code, just unzip
this over it)

  http://nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu:8080/files/share/matplotlib-py.60a.zip

And get a fresh examples dir from 

  http://nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu:8080/files/share/matplotlib-examples.60a.zip

Hope this helps,
