ISSUES

1. [New issue] dict.copy() raises SystemError if None is used as a key
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/35626
User tcalmant has proposed the issue:

"When copying a dictionary containing a key set to None, a SystemError is raised:
IronPython 2.7.4 (2.7.0.40) on .NET 4.0.30319.34014 (32-bit)
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> {1: 2}.copy()
{1: 2}
>>> {None: 2}.copy()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
SystemError: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

FYI, the copy.copy() method works well in that case:
>>> import copy
>>> copy.copy({None:2})
{None: 2}
