Summary: Pickle fails on BeautifulSoup's navigableString instances

Initial Comment:
Trying to pickle an instance of BeautifulSoup's NavigableString class, this is the result:
"RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded"


Diagnosis: The problem arises when trying to pickle such instances - pickle enters an endless loop and reaches the max recursion limit (eventually). This happens regardless of the protocol used.

Possibly related to SF bug #1581183: "pickle protocol 2 failure on int subclass"
