[IronPython] very strange dictionnary bug

Hello,

We are just seeing a very strange bug in the following code:

myDictionnary = {}
..
for key in myDictionnary.keys():
  assert myDictionnary.has_key(key) --> throw AssertionError

this is fixed by the following change:

for key, value in myDictionnary.iteritems():
  ...

Ever seen this?

Too bad I cannot reproduce this...a very simple test case like the one
below doesn't do the trick...

thanks,

Stan.
