Ah.  Umm.  You may have a point there.

I used to always use pickle, which stores its data in text files, and 
so I always open in text mode.  Converting to cPickle, I neglected to 
change this.  That probably explains the problem (though since the 
file was generated in text mode as well, the damage is probably 
already done -- I'll have to rebuild the file).

Thanks Just!
