s->dict.allocated was initialized to 0 but never set after
a successful allocation, thus the code always thought that
the dictionary buffer has to be reallocated.

Yu made me aware that Lasse had sent this on Nov. 4. I would recommend you
take that patch, and disregard this one. Cisco is using it and we would like
to see it merged.
