Curious.  This looks like a problem in cPickle, or perhaps BSDI's
frexp() is stricter than most in some special case.  Try asking on
comp.lang.python; perhaps someone else has seen this problem.  If not,
try reproducing it outside of Zope, perhaps by trying cunningly chosen
floating point numbers until cPickle fails.
