Comment 4 for bug 533163

I have a new install running on Fedora 11 _x84-64 while running python2.6. I can make this error (code 400, message Bad request syntax (' 340(lp1')) go away by modifying tinySocket.py from:

import cPickle

statement to:

try:
    import cPickle as pickle
except ImportError:
    import pickle # fall back on Python version

I suspect cPickle.so has malformed data pickled from ["db","list"].

At least this seems to clear that problem, but still no dice connecting to server.
