Most likely the error-detection code is not working on your platform.    
The platform dependent stuff is not that difficult.   I tried to 
implement something for AIX, but very likely got it wrong (and don't 
have a platform to test it on).  It is the UFUNC_CHECK_STATUS that must 
be implemented.   Perhaps, we can do a simple check and disable the 
error modes:

seterr(all='ignore')

will work and "turn-off" error-detection on your platform.
