BUG: hashtable memory error causes test_factorize_nan crash

[miketkelly]

ObjectVector class resizes its array without reseting its capacity count, so subsequent appends are invalid.

Mac OS 10.9, Python 2.7.6, numpy 1.9.0.dev-ee49411.

[jreback]

can u construct a test that fails w/o the fix?

this doesn't fail in numpy 1.9 afaict (in 64-bit linux)

as we test this in Travis

[miketkelly]

Added a test case that crashed on linux also.

[jreback]

gr8

can u add more dtypes to your test

eg loop thru object, int64, float 64

and release note (0.14.0)

thanks

[miketkelly]

Done. Also needed to handle the special case where a vector is resized to 0.

[jreback]

looks good
ping when green

[jreback]

thanks!
