Research direction

Run test.py with IronPython 3.4.0a1 on Mono 6.12 to reproduce the crash, starting from PythonCommandLine.RunFile in the reported stack. Trace dictionary key insertion and hash handling in the C# implementation; done means the supplied recursive-instance example no longer crashes.
