What kind of fatal error ? An exception ? A SystemError ? A Segmentation
Violation ? cPickle needs the 'copy_reg' module; if you don't have it, it
won't work, but it should just raise an ImportError, not do anything bad or
anything. If you want to know why it needs the copy_reg module, try reading
the 'pickle' module (which is written in Python, a *lot* more readable than
C! :-)
