Paul,

No problem, I think we've both been busy with other things.  I was
actually going to post something on the PyParsing wikispaces since I
wasn't sure if you checked here.  I wasn't actually intentionally
pickling any ParseResults objects, but I realized that in my parse
actions, I was making a copy of the "t" parameter, which is actually a
ParseResults object.  I switched my code to use t.asList() and things
are ok now.  If you'd like me to test your version, I'd be glad to,
otherwise I can wait until whenever that change makes it's way into a
release.
