Summary: cPickle / time.struct_time loop

Initial Comment:
The following code produces and endless loop
on python 2.2 ( ok on python 2.1 ). The
file being saved by cPickle.dump grows
indefinetely.

-----------------------------
import time, cPickle

created = time.localtime()

fd = open('/tmp/bla.pickle','w')
cPickle.dump(created,fd)
[...endless loop... ]

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Boosted priority, assigned to Guido.

A stack fault is faster to produce via the one-liner

cPickle.dumps(time.localtime())

There's unbounded recursion.
