Guido van Rossum 2a6f5b38ac _reduce(): Avoid infinite recursion in the pickler when self.__class__
doesn't have the _HEAPTYPE flag set, e.g. for time.struct_time and
posix.stat_result.

This fixes the immediate symptoms of SF bug #496873 (cPickle /
time.struct_time loop), replacing the infinite loop with an exception.
