Err... yeah.  The python-dbg output is a red-herring.  By changing the
order of the imports of pylab and matplotlib, I was able to get a "new"
error message from python-dbg.

$ python-dbg ./0831-support.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
[...]
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/_path.so:
undefined symbol: Py_InitModule4

Also, I figured out why my pylab plot wasn't displaying (unrelated to
anything with the numpy package), so I'm closing the bug.

Thanks to all those who helped.
