Turns out it's due to the script reading a parameter, in the usual
Pythonic way, at the end of the file:

if __name__ == "__main__":
   import sys
   m = int(sys.argv[1])
   compute_alpha(m)

Namely, load() tries to evaluate int(sys.argv[1]), whereas for some
reason sys.argv[1] is '-i'.

So this is probably not a bug, but deserves mentioning in the documentation.
