np.tensordot crashes when axes=0
```python
import jax.numpy as np
import numpy as onp

result = onp.tensordot(onp.ones((2, 3, 4)), onp.ones((5, 6, 7)), 0) 
print(result.shape) # should print (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)
# This errors out.
result = np.tensordot(np.ones((2, 3, 4)), np.ones((5, 6, 7)), 0) 
```
This is the error message I receive.
```
>>> result = np.tensordot(np.ones((2, 3, 4)), np.ones((5, 6, 7)), 0)
