I build my own packages using poudriere, which runs on the test machine
from which the test failures were reported.  I found that numpy and
scipy from my package repo were faulty.  I have been able to run the ase
tests successfully using numpy and scipy built from ports on the test
machine.  The difference is that in the latter case gcc 5.4 was used for
building (vs 6.4) and numpy is at version 1.11.x vs 1.13.1.

Thanks,
Roger
