Traceback (most recent call last):

MemoryError
I would be much obliged if someone else could demonstrate it.
Memory fragmentation in the 2GB address space available? If dt==float64,
that requires 250MB contiguous.
Before creating the dtype('D') test array, the largest contiguous block
available to the 32 bit Python process on my system is ~830 MB. The
creation of this array succeeds. However, the creation of the next
dtype('G') test array fails because the previous array is still in
memory and the largest contiguous block available is only ~318 MB.
Deleting the test arrays after usage via del(d) fixes this problem
<https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/7323>. Another fix could be to
change the order of data types tested.
