No worries, that's what nightly are for right ? And I only dug up a failing tests :-) Thanks to you for writing this !

I'm not going to pretend I understand the details, though I applied the latest patch: 
fix-compact-dict-deletion.patch	methane, 2016-09-09 04:11

And it does fix this issue for me (at least on my local machine)

Looking at the code the only thing I see is that you seem to return NULL in Pop and -1 in Clear. Not sure if this what you meant, I'm un familar with all this; but thanks a lot again for the your work and the quick response.
