In py1.5.2 string.atof expects a string, such as '5000.0' or '5000' and
won't work without one. (at least, that's what my tests show)

Did you write the pickle with the same version of python that you're
using to read the pickle?
If that is true, try adding the 'save as binary' switch to the
pickle.dump command.
ex: dump(object,file,1)

I think one of those two might solve your problem, though neither of
them detect or fix the actual bug :)
