Hi,
I have a problem with pyplot. When I'm passing an numpy array with complex
entries to imshow I receive the error message:
TypeError: array cannot be safely cast to required type
Which is ok, when I thereafter call imshow with a valid image (i)python
segfaults. Sometimes it even segfaults instead of the above error message:
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Oct 5 2008, 19:29:17)

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Segmentation fault
The only deterministic behaviour after calling imshow with a complex array
is that it segfaults anytime. Quite annoying because I forget to convert to
real quite often 8-).
I use matplotlib, python, and numpy with the latest backport version
available in Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 amd64 (numpy 1.1.1, python 2.5.2,
matplotlib
0.98.3). Does also crash in ipython 0.9.1 with and without -pylab flag
started.
I filed a bug but so far no one responded, so maybe here's some help.
