Summary: cPickle bug when using imp.load_source()

Initial Comment:
When a Python 2.1.1 program dynamically creates a
module using
the 'imp.load_source()' function, and the created
module tries to 
'import cPickle', the interpreter dies with a
SystemError exception:

SystemError: _PyImport_FixupExtension: module
import_cPickle.cPickle not loaded

This does *not* occur when the find/load_module()
functions are used.

The bug also appears to have been introduced somewhere
in 2.x,
as 1.5.x works fine with load_source().

Attached is a full explanation of the behavior and some
small
sample programs to illustrate the bug.
