test suite hangs with bfgs in EPD, numpy 1.4 scipy 0.8

latest 0.3-devel revision 2105

Hanging here in the call to fit:

class TestLogitBFGS(CheckModelResults, CheckMargEff):
   @classmethod
   def setupClass(cls):
       data = sm.datasets.spector.load()
       data.exog = sm.add_constant(data.exog)
       res2 = Spector()
       res2.logit()
       cls.res2 = res2
       cls.res1 = Logit(data.endog, data.exog).fit(method="bfgs",
           disp=0)

Wes still saw problems with EPD and hanging tests. However, they don't show up outside of EPD, and go away if scipy in EPD is upgraded.

For all other installs, there don't seem to be any problems, tested with minimal configuration: python 2.5, numpy 1.4.1, scipy 0.7.2 and all higher versions (but not all combinations)
