Duh! I totally forgot about that, despite the fact that that was the one 
thing I missed when moving form Matlab to Numeric a few years back.

I agree, however, does Numeric have a putmask() method? or only a 
putmask function? The numpy putmask function works fine.

Still, this looks like a bug that may well apply to other methods, so 
it's probably worth fixing.
