Strange, it works for me under Python 2.5a2 on Linux and marshal dumps and loads inf/nan values correctly. Probably it's a win32 issue.

Anyway I've applied a modified version of your patch ([168]). I assume it fixes the problem, so I'm closing the ticket. Could you check in on your PC and reopen it if it still fails?

Thanks for the patch.
