Summary: pickle/cPickle EOL incompatibility

Initial Comment:
There seems to be a problem loading pickled data 
written under Windows (EOL = \r\n) from within Linux 
(EOL = \n).  The problem manifests as being unable to 
import the required module.  Reading Linux pickle data 
under Windows works fine.

e.g. a pickle file containing objects from module Foo 
will fail to import Foo, because it *actually* tries 
to import "Foo\r", and obviously can't.

(Seems unlikely that noone else has noticed this, so 
perhaps I'm just being spectacularly dumb.)

On Windows, you have to open files containing pickles in
binary mode ("rb", "wb").

Closing as Invalid.
