Lib/test/crashers/nasty_eq_vs_dict.py does crash Python because of an
infinite loop in the dictionary lookup. The script modifies the
dictionary at each lookup, whereas Python tries a new lookup each time
that the dictionary is modified.

I proposed to make the lookup fail with a RuntimeError if the
dictionary has been modified during a lookup. It should not occur if
you are not doing something evil.
