[issue6290] cPickle can misread data type

[Alex James]

Alex James <ac.james at shaw.ca> added the comment:

I have now pinpointed the error to a list of infinities (see attached).
When using pickle.py to read the cPickle'd data we get a different, and
more, informative error:
ValueError: invalid literal for float(): 1.#INF
