I added the missing 'import nose' to those two occurences where some old
remainings of nose were used to interrupt tests.  I'm not pround about
this very naive but hopefully working approach.  Its rather a cry for
more competent people to find a better fix than a solution.  I'm just
doing the work on pandas since nobody else seems to care for the RC bugs
which would kick lots of rdepends.  Since I'm offline tomorrow, please
pretty please could somebody check and try some next iteration to try to
work around those architecture specific issues.  I know here are people
around who have much more experience than me with such code - please
spent some time to get the package fixed.

Thanks a lot

    Andreas.
