Can't this be triggered by non-malicious code that just happened to have a python comparison and get hit with a thread switch?

I'm not sure how often it happens, but today it would not be visible to the user; after the patch, users will see a sporadic failure that they can't easily defend against.

Would it be worth adding a counter to lookdict, so that one modification is OK, but 5 aren't?
