Corruption problem on large IdentityDictionaries

When working with IdentityDictionaries with over 20K entries, there is
a risk that the value assigned to a key will be the association containing
the key and value rather than the expected value.  For example:

After performing:

anIdentityDict at: #key put: #value.
^ anIdentityDict at: #key

Rather than returning #value as expected, the code could return the Association
#key -> #value.
