I assume you're talking about issue 5775. I think it's all explained in 
the bug report. Basically, the float->string conversion can now return 
an out of memory error, which it could not before. marshal.c's w_object 
doesn't check for those error conditions. I doubt they'll ever occur in 
any test, but they need to be handled none the less.

It's on my list of things to do in the next week. But if there's anyone 
who understands the code and would like to take a look, feel free.

Eric.
