[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run the following from within IDLE using Python 2.7.3(matplotlib as graphing 
backend)

from scitools.std import *

def f(t):
    return t**2*exp(-t**2)

t = linspace(0, 3, 51)
y = f(t)
plot(t, y)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The generated plot window is non-responsive and requires a forced stop of 
pythonw.exe
