cv.CreateMatND allocation problem (Bug #30)

As reported by Jorge Scandaliaris:

Hi,
It seems as cv.CreateMatND() is not allocating memory (or something along the
line), contrary to what cv.CreateMat() does. Is this intended? I couldn't find
any warning in the docs, so I assume this is a bug, but if it isn't, how am I
supposed to use MatND from python?

Example with MatND:

In r2: import cv
In r3: import numpy as np
In r4: matnd = cv.CreateMatND((5,5),cv.CV_32FC1)
In r5: a = np.fromstring(matnd.tostring(), dtype = 'float32', count=25)
In r6: a
Violación de segmento (Segmentation fault)

Now with Mat:

In r1: import cv
In r2: import numpy as np
In r3: mat = cv.CreateMat(5,5, cv.CV_32FC1)
In r4: a = np.fromstring(mat.tostring(), dtype = 'float32', count=25)
In r5: a
Outr5:
array([ 6.43756542e-34, 6.43760951e-34, 7.39426722e-34,
6.08832605e-34, 7.00819079e-34, 7.01185319e-34,

-1.27425883e-05, 5.44992977e-34, 5.26212985e-34,
-1.30944827e-05, -1.30453263e-05, -1.30457047e-05,
-1.30005938e-05, -1.26384839e-05, -1.29979453e-05,
-1.29992259e-05, -1.29144173e-05, -1.26387749e-05,
-1.30708795e-05], dtype=float32)

Is there any workaround around this?

Cheers,

Jorge
