Running this one liner crashes python with a glibc memory corruption

numpy.arange(15).reshape((5,3)).argmax(-1, out=numpy.ones((3,1), dtype=int))

on centos6 64 bit Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Dec 7 2011, 20:48:22) [GCC 4.4.6 20110731 (Red Hat 4.4.6-3)] on linux2

It seems to be quite a corner case, preallocating the out arg prevents the crash.
