Sorry about delay... quite often those Bus errors just go away on their
own since aren't anything to be fixed in pandas, but this time it still
persists with 0.17.1:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=pandas&arch=armhf&ver=0.17.1-3&stamp=1450078009
test_append_frame_column_oriented (pandas.io.tests.test_pytables.TestHDFStore) ... Exception AttributeError: AttributeError("'File' object has no attribute '_node_manager'",) in  ignored
Bus error

sparc is gone and seems to be not trying on sparc64 yet.  I will look
into fixing up my testing environment on sparc64 to see how current
master is doing:

Dear ARM people -- any clues on what could be a culprit here?
