 Copied from Robert Kern's post on numpy-discussion:

 Actually, the problem is that we provide a hash function explicitly. In
 multiarraymodule.c:

 {{{
    PyArrayDescr_Type.tp_hash = (hashfunc)_Py_HashPointer;
 }}}

 That is a violation of the hashing protocol (objects which compare equal
 and are hashable need to hash equal), and should be fixed.
