Josef,
Nice find -- another reason why 'S' can NOT be used a-is for arbitrary
bytes.
See the other thread for my proposals about that.

I think the real "work around" is to not try to store arbitrary bytes --
i.e. encoded text, in the 'S' dtype.
But is there a convenient way to do it with other existing numpy types?
I tried to do it with uint8, and it's really awkward....
