Ah. I can guarantee that's happening. Some of my code uses Numeric (due 
to high speed on short arrays) and some uses numarray (because I started 
using it for all new code when it looked like it would take over). I 
hope to switch to numpy for everything once the dust settles, but I 
don't want to force my users to all move at once (a lot of them are on 
unix and will have to manually install numpy -- no big deal, but I get 
complaints every time I require a new package).

I don't have wx or gtk installed, so no easy way to test those backends.

It does not crash with plain old Agg (but of course I don't see any 
plot).

I'll be happy to try the "non-agg TK back-end" if you can tell me what 
setting to use for it. I didn't see it in the matplotlibrc's list of 
options (but WXAgg is also missing from that particular list), nor on 
the "Which backend should I use?" page.

I started this project several years ago and at the time Tcl/Tk was the 
only game in town for Mac+unix+windows cross-platform support. 
Admittedly the Mac support was poor, but it has gotten much better, and 
I like Tkinter pretty well overall. It would be a major job to switch 
now and I doubt I can justify the expense and time. Sometimes I wish I'd 
used Java, even though the I strongly prefer Python, just to get a 
standard GUI.

I'm bulding matplotlib from source now, just to see if there might be 
some quirk about the installer package.
