fatal bug in 2.2.1 PyStringMap serialization

Hi all! 
I just wanted to give a heads-up that I found a nasty fatal bug when 
serializing and deserializing PyStringMap instances in Jython 2.2.1.  
Essentially, if the size of the PyStringMap is one of a small set of 
prime numbers and the instance is deserialized and serialized, then 
calls to __finditem__ may result in an infinite loop.

The details and a script to recreate the problem are here:
