[issue11564] pickle not 64-bit ready

[Jorgen Skancke]

Jorgen Skancke <jorgsk at nt.ntnu.no> added the comment:

I recently ran into this problem when I tried to multiprocess jobs with large objects (3-4 GB). I have plenty of memory for this, but multiprocessing hangs without error, presumably because pickle hangs without error when multiprocessing tries to pickle the object. I can't offer a solution, but I can verify that the limitation in pickle is affecting Python usage.
