Actually, on second thoughts, and since a character array is not a
list, I guess this is not a bug, at least not in numarray. Perhaps I
should report this to the people who maintain the random module, since
shuffle does not complain but returns the wrong answer?

Sorry for firing off the last message so hastily.
