Description

When trying to pickle a parse tree (generated with pattern.en.parse() and then pattern.en.split()), I get: "RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded".
Still, a pickle file was indeed created, but it couldn't be opened due to an EOF error. So apparently the data structure of Sentences() does not lend itself to pickling.
Just pickling the output of pattern.en.parse() worked fine, though.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by pickling the output of pattern.en.parse() followed by pattern.en.split(), then compare it with pickling parse() alone. Done means the split output can be pickled and loaded successfully without a recursion-depth or EOF error.
