Hi,

The point is that even if ASCII protocol is used on
windows(as I was), the unpickling process would fail on
windows. So the pickle file should be opened in binary mode
on windows even for ASCII protocol. This may make reading
the file in notepad difficult but then, cross platform
support should take precedence, I suppose. Another option
would be for python to do line end translations for ASCII
pickle files. 

Raghu.
