Describe the issue:

When having an array with more than 31 boolean values and doing an equality comparison the underlying value seems off. Applying view("uint8") to the result returns 254 for every element instead of one. It works fine if n<= 31

Discovered in pandas-dev/pandas#50347

Reproduce the code example:

import numpy as np

n = 32
na = np.array([True] * n)
(na == True).view("uint8")

Error message:

[254 254 254 254 254 254 254 254 254 254 254 254 254 254 254 254 254 254
 254 254 254 254 254 254 254 254 254 254 254 254 254 254]

This seems off to me
