I'd say the "weird reason" is probably a bug in your script. For example
the following appears very dubious:

		for o in self.wlist:
			if len(o) > 0xFF:
				o = o[:0xFF]
			fp.write(chr(len(o)))
			fp.write(o)
			for s in self.wlist[o]:

In any case, the idea that one of Python's built-in containers would
silently *drop* values (rather than segfault or produce a MemoryError)
is in itself quite unbelievable, due to the way those containers funciton.
