Summary: problem with shelve not handling some db entries.

Details: I've had a problem with shelve not handling specific database requests.
For example:

>>> import shelve
>>> x = shelve.open('testshelve')
>>> x['test'] = {}
>>> x['test']['foobar'] = 'unf'
>>> x['test']
{}
>>> 

yet it works fine if I do:

>>> x['test'] = {'foobar':'unf'}
>>> x['test']                   
{'foobar': 'unf'}
>>> 

this was using python2.0 on redhat linux 7.0 and also tried on
freebsd4 running python2.0.
