    >>> cPickle.dump(float('inf'), f, 1)
    ...
    SystemError: frexp() result out of range

Yeah, I believe so:

>>> float('inf')
inf
>>> marshal.dumps(float('inf'))
'f\x03inf'
>>> import cPickle
>>> cPickle.dumps(float('inf'))
'Finf\n.'
>>> import sys
>>> print sys.version_info
(2, 1, 1, 'final', 0)
