add SP compatibility test which is failing for me!
cast the output array to type GetNTAReal() as @baroobob suggested

but still does not solve problem
add test for direct cpp/py SP call in 1D
cpp/py SP tests: change activeArray type to uintType

in one case, as it's used in (passing) tests above
Merge branch 'master' into sp_compat_test
Update tests to capture the actual failure.
Skip failing tests so we can merge.
