Description of problem:

Numeric.reshape raises ValueError exception when newshape has more than 1 
dimension.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

python-numeric-23.7-2.2.1

How reproducible:

from Numeric import *
x = array([1,2,3,4], Int)
y = reshape(x, (2,2))

Actual results:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "aa.py", line 3, in ?
    y = reshape(x, (2,2))
ValueError: total size of new array must be unchanged


Expected results:

y = [[1 2]
    [3 4]]


Additional info:

Same code works fine with numpy-0.9.6-1.fc5. Issue may have been resolved in 
later release of Numeric (release notes of later versions mention fixed to 64 
bit issues). Many fc5 packages depend on python-numeric, so it is not possible 
to simply remove python-numeric and use numpy.
