Re: possible bug in concatenating character arrays

Hi Faheem,

I was able to reproduce the problem using numarray-1.0 and Python-2.3.4
on Fedora Core 2.   As Nadav said,  the problem also appears to be fixed
in numarray-1.1 and I was able to confirm that as well.  I'll look into
the hows and whys some more tomorrow.

Regards,
Todd
