[issue6290] cPickle can misread data type

[Alex James]

Alex James <ac.james at shaw.ca> added the comment:

Your test prints:
'(1p1\nF1.#INF\naF-1.#INF\naF-1.IND\na.'
[inf, -inf, nan]

My installation is Python 2.6.2 as currently distributed.

Specifying protocol 1 or 2 does circumvent the error.  
Thank you.
