Re: [Numpy-discussion] numarray: Python crash

[Todd M. <jm...@st...>]

Hi Edward,

This is working OK for me on Fedora Core 4 x86_64 using numarray-1.5.0 
and Python-2.4.2.   I masked the overflow exception with try/except and 
did 10000 in a loop without problems.   

Are you getting a core dump file?   If so,  try:

% gdb python core*   # on FC4 cores are annotated with PID so you may 
need to rm a few
(gdb) where
.... C function traceback

Let me know what you see.

Todd
