I closed 1530257 because it had more to do with pickling in
general being broken.  Your tests pass if you import pickle
instead of cPickle.  I figured leaving 1291509 open to
indicate the cPickle brokenness was enough.

That said, your patch fixes 15 out of the 37 broken tests in
cPickle.  I'll apply it whenever I get a chance to see
what's causing the remaining 15 to fail.  If you want to run
test_cPickle.py in Lib/test yourself and take out the
remaining 15 with an updated patch(or explain why they can't
be fixed), I'll apply it immediately(and be forever
grateful).  It'll probably be another week or two until I
get to look at cPickle.  Leave a comment here if you're
working on this, and I'll check in with you when I'm ready
to start.
