[issue3104] overzealous garbage collector (dict)

[GreaseMonkey]

GreaseMonkey <thematrixeatsyou at yahoo.co.nz> added the comment:

I mean that it actually *drops* values, not *overwrites* them.

I have attached the script which demonstrates this quirk in the garbage
collector (it also doubles as a library).

The original text file was an IRC log. Shoving Charles Dickens' "Great
Expectations" 17 times in a text file and then parsing it doesn't show
this problem for some weird reason.

I have python 2.5.1.
