What should marshal / unmarshal do with floating point NaNs (the case we are worrying about is Infinity) ? The current behavior is not perfect.
Michael Spencer chased down a supposed "Idle" problem to (on Win2k): marshal.dumps(1e10000) == 'f\x061.#INF' marshal.loads('f\x061.#INF') == 1.0
Should loads raise an exception? Somehow, I thing 1.0 is not the best possible representation for +Inf.
