There is a cell which has a reference to the "sub" function and the
"sub" function has a reference to the cell in its closures.  The cell
gets created before the function, but does not get built (have
__setstate__ called on it) until after the function does.  And the
function won't recognise the cell until Stackless has fixed its type
when it is built.

I removed the call to PyCell_Check in funcobject.c:func_new() in order
to see whether that would be enough, but this just results in an
uncaught pickling error later on.

I don't see an easy fix :-(

Richard.
