Full_Name: Eric S. Raymond Version: 1.5.2 OS: Linux Submission from: snark.tuxedo.org (207.106.50.26) I have generated a pickled object that causes cPickle to core-dump while attempting to load it. The pickle module reads it without trouble. To reproduce, fetch ftp://ftp.ccil.org/pub/esr/cml2-coredump.tar.gz, unpack it, and follow the instructions in BUG-README.
