4213	admin modifies values of pickled fields in db	ochen@…	Adrian Holovaty	"What I'm doing:
Store dictionary values in TextFields by using pickle / cPickle

What breaks:
Everything works fine as long as the admin interface doesnt modify the object.  I can retreive the pickled objects fine up until the admin contrib modifies the object, even with such tasks as modifying an unrelated field.  Dictionary values in the pickled TextFields get modified randomly, mostly doing with floats.  Have had floats randomly mutated into Decimals as well as Strings.  If the admin interface never manipulates the objects, the state of the pickles seem to be preserved (ha ha)."		closed	contrib.admin	0.96		wontfix	admin pickle decimal float cpickle		Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
