        Then pickle is bugged somewhere.  I have a giant (1.2M) pickle
file which keeps the state of everything my monitoring system is
keeping track of, including moderately complex Holt-Winters time
series models.  When I start the daemon that does all the work with
python1.5.2, it loads the pickle fine.  When I try to start it with
python2.1 I get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "bin/momd", line 83, in ?
    kserv = load(f)
ValueError: invalid \x escape
