I forgot to mention that I had also tried updating to the latest numpy 
(2.24.2), with the same tests failing. I agree the test failures in numpy need 
to be resolved in some way for merging core-updates, since the failure affects 
such a large number of common (desktop) applications on i686. My inclination is 
to disable both failing tests (at least for now), and possibly updating to the 
latest numpy since changing the package would trigger a rebuild anyway. I only 
hesitate about disabling TestKind.test_all since I don't know what role the 
Fortran bridging code plays in numpy and if the failure is a sign of a 
legitimate problem instead of a platform limitation (as the large array test 
failure seems to be).

Cheers,
