This is a bug in NumPy.     I've tracked it down and am trying to come 
up with a fix.

Basically, I need to figure out the transpose tuple to use to invert a 
permutation that I'm using.

If I do.

b = a.transpose(perm)
c = b.transpose(what)

so that c and a have the same shape.   I have a general formula for perm 
but I'm not quite sure how to translate that into a general formula for 
what.   I may have to just calculate the inverse permutation in the code.
