     Type:  defect      |      Status:  new                 
 Priority:  normal      |   Milestone:                      
Component:  numpy.core  |     Version:  none                
 Severity:  normal      |    Keywords:  cPicle unicode_ dump
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 The following code is crashing (dumping a unicode field of a ndArray, then
 loading it) :

 {{{
 import numpy
 import cPickle
 titi = numpy.array(["DROND", "DROND1"], dtype="<U6", order="FORTRAN")
 toto = titi[1]
 f = open("c:/toto.txt", "w")
 cPickle.dump(toto, f)
 f.close()
 f = open("c:/toto.txt", "r")
 t = cPickle.load(f)
 }}}

 Error is :
 '''File "<interactive input>", line 1, in <module>'''

 '''ValueError: ('initialization string is too small', <built-in function
 scalar>, (dtype('<U6'), 'D\x00R\x00O\x00N\x00D\x001\x00'))'''

 With Python 2.5, numpy 1.0.3.1, on Windows XP
