Tim pointed out a remaining vulnerability in popitem(): the
PyTuple_New() could *conceivably* clear the dict, so move the test for an empty dict after the tuple allocation. It means that we waste time allocating and deallocating a 2-tuple when the dict is empty, but who cares. It also means that when the dict is empty *and* there's no memory to allocate a 2-tuple, we raise MemoryError, not KeyError -- but that may actually a good idea: if there's no room for a lousy 2-tuple, what are the chances that there's room for a KeyError instance?
