Since I need the German locale for my figures I set the locale accordingly - somewhere in my software. cPickle writes the _session_time float with "," after session.save().I restart the server - the LOCALE is not set - Beaker tries to read the fileand crashes because the float is "wrongly" formatted...

That's the most bizarre thing I've seen. And apparently it isn't using the LOCALE when loading, or was that not set yet?
This apparently is a known bug as of 2 years ago: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-bugs-list/2006-April/033125.html There appears to be a PEP related: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0331/Not sure whether they've actually fixed it, what version of Python are you using?
