[issue11564] pickle not 64-bit ready

Thank you all for your responses. While getting the meaningful error message in this case is very important, the main thing for us is to somehow fix this problem to allow larger objects serialization which is not at all uncommon on a 64-bit machines with large amounts of memory.
This issue affects cPickle as well, I believe, as well cStringIO that uses pickle too, I believe.

So, what are your plans/thoughts - would there be any action on fixing this problem in the near future? I think I grasp the extent of changes that need to be made to Python code, but I think this issue will have to bee addressed soonoer or later anyhow.
