hi,
is there some character or sequence of characters which is guaranteed
not to occur in a string produced by Marshal.dump on some arbitrary
object hierarchy.
thanks,

Think not. If you do:
result = Marshal.dump(some_sequence_of_characters)
then the characters of the string some_sequence_of_characters are going
to be embedded in the result string.
For example:
irb(main):001:0> Marshal.dump(“1234”)
=> “\004\b”\t1234"
irb(main):002:0> Marshal.dump("\001\002\003\004")
=> “\004\b”\t\001\002\003\004"
