Without getting into the cache vs. no cache debate, that simply sucks.
I've run into this problem a couple time, and had very ugly workarounds
for that.

I think it can be fixed, and I will try to patch that if I ever get the
chance. (Pickle a method as a pair: im_self and the method's name.
Then upon unpickling, get im_self.name)
