of the representation of objects, especially the order of keys in a dict repr etc... Probably. :-( I could probably fix that by subclassing dict with something whose repr() sorts the keys -- it doesn't print the few large dicts that it uses, so this should be fine. The same approach could be used for fixing all repr()-related issues. I'll leave it to Dan to decide if he wants this to be fixed ASAP or if he's okay with putting it off until later -- I imagine it will take a while before he's got it running on Parrot well enough to hit the first assert...

Heh. I'm OK with either leaving it as-is if the current ordering is considered correct, or altering the benchmark to guarantee ordering. (Or having the output compared by an external program to guarantee correctness, which is fine as well)
