We've noticed a strange occurance on Python 2.4.3 w/ the floating point value
1.79769313486232e+308 and how it interacts w/ a .pyc. Given x.py:
def foo():
print str(1.79769313486232e+308)
print str(1.79769313486232e+308) == "1.#INF"
The 1st time you run this you get the correct value, but if you reload the
module after a .pyc is created then you get different results (and the
generated byte code appears to have changed).
