Binary pickle portability

Hi folks!
Lately I observed strange things when trying to unpickle a binary pickle
(including floating point numbers) produced on a different architecture.
The Python versions involved were 1.5.1 and 1.5.2, the systems Irix 5
on Mips and Linux on Intel x86.
Explanations I can think of:
a) An incompatibility of binary pickles between 1.5.1 and 1.5.2
b) Pickle stores floats in native format.
c) A problem in my installations.
Any hints? Should binary pickles be avoided when sharing files between
different systems/installations?
Thanks!
Olaf
