segfault in QuadMesh with Numeric

Starting from CVS mpl, I tested examples/quadmesh_demo.py

I'm a little hesitant to leave in a segfault because they can be
very difficult to track down. Perhaps Alex and/or Paul can address
this.

If it proves too difficult, we should at least check for Numeric in
calls to quadmesh and generate a warning before the segfault occurs.
