Same thing, then (Jeremy, *don't* use -r).

As just posted, doctest uses whatever .items() returns but probably
shouldn't.  It's hard to see how the dictobject.c changes could affect that,
but I have to agree they're the most likley suspect.  I'll back those out
locally and see whether the problem persists.

But I'm going to eat first!
