In the course of debugging this I also saw that cPickle is
inconsistent with pickle - if you attempt a pickle.load or pickle.dump
on a closed file, you get a ValueError, whereas the corresponding
cPickle operations give an IOError. Since cPickle is advertised as
being compatible with pickle, I changed these exceptions to match.
