1.1b1: test_ignore_warnings fails on some Debian architectures

[olebole]

Hi,

on Debian MIPS (little endian) 32 bit and 64bit, and hppa the test_ignore_warnings test fails:

_____________________________ test_ignore_warnings _____________________________
    def test_ignore_warnings():
        t = table.Table([[np.nan, np.nan]])
        with warnings.catch_warnings(record=True) as warns:
            t.info('stats', out=None)
>           assert len(warns) == 0
E           assert 2 == 0
E            +  where 2 = len([<warnings.WarningMessage object at 0xffe44132b0>,
                               <warnings.WarningMessage object at 0xffe4413208>])
astropy/table/tests/test_info.py:233: AssertionError

Numpy version is 1.9.2 (identical to the build on amd64 where the test succeeds).

@olebole - could you try seeing what the warnings are? Thanks!

Yes, but not quickly. I am on travel this week.

I'll be surprised if this is really a bug so much as a less than robust test, but we'll see...

We're about to drop np1.9 support, and this doesn't come up again with the past 2 major releases, so I'm inclined to close it. Please reopen if you still see this issue with 2.0rc1!

Although late, I can confirm that this works now on MIPS.
