What do you mean by this size specification? When I interpreter X as
multiplication, I can't see a problem: the code

import pickle

d = {}

for i in xrange(65000*50):
    d[i]=i
print "Starting dump"
s = pickle.dumps(d)

works just fine for me. Can you please modify it so that it does cause
a problem?

Regards,
Martin
