They do not appear on my machine (a pentium-M running Ubuntu). I should point out that they are only actually three distinct errors, because one of the test suites is being run twice.They are not exactly subtle tests; they're checking that seterr induces the raising of exceptions from np.arange(3)/0, np.sqrt(-np.arange(3)), and np.array([1.])/np.array([0.]). The tests pass on the x86_64 machine I have access to (a multiprocessor Opteron running Knoppix of all things). That is, it only has python 2.4 (don't ask) so the tests can't be run, but running the same tests by hand produces the expected results. This particular feature - seterr - is the sort of thing an overaggressive optimizer can easily butcher, though, so it could easily be the result of the particular configuration on the buildbot machine. I think somebody with access to the buildbot machine needs to see what's going on. In particular: does a manually-compiled numpy exhibit the problem? How clean does the buildbot make its environment? Do the functions behave correctly from an interactive session? Do other seterr conditions have the same problem? Anne P.S. Please ignore the alarming-looking buildbot failure; it is due to operator headspace. -A _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
