I'm working on it. I should have said it's trivial if you have
access to the platforms to be supported. I've tested a fix
that supports pickle streams generated under Win32 and glibc.
That's using the "native" string representation of a NaN or
Inf.
A perhaps simpler approach would be to define a string
representation for Python to use for NaN and Inf. Just because
something isn't defined by the C standard doesn't mean it can't
be defined by Python.
