The version itself is fine, but the ABI has been changed in an
incompatible way: if you have an extension built against say numpy
1.2.1, and then use a numpy built from sources after the datetime
merge, it will segfault right away. It does so for scipy and several
custom extensions. The abi breakage was found to be the datetime
merge.
