-OO optimization fails with nosetester (Trac #894)

[numpy-gitbot]

Original ticket http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/ticket/894 on 2008-08-27 by @pierregm, assigned to unknown.

Looks like nosetester.docmethod fails when the docstring are explicitly suppressed with the -OO flag.

python -OO -c "import numpy as np"

This should be fixed by r5710.
