I've applied your binary patch and resurrected the original storable file so I know my privacy string edits (all the 'xxx..' and '000..' didn't have any affect on the resulting edited storable that I posted.

I've pulled Storable 1.0.13 off of backpan and am currently preparing a to apply your "Bugger" patch. Thank you very much for you indepth analysis and I'll be sure to follow up if I can record a dump of the data structure that caused it in the first place. (that is if I can reproduce the corrupt storable with multiple attempts with Storable 1.0.13 and 2.13)

I'll follow up on this thread when/if I can determine the actual cause. :P

Thanks again!
