 |  Unfortunately, while implementing it, i found a dictionary
 |  iterator bug that makes `mtaalias' as released flaky as it will
 |  potentially store the pointer to a wrong alias name in its
 |  name<->expansion map (it stores the pointer into dict[*][0], not
 |  to the actual node which is not necessarily [0] but could also
 |  be [1..X-1]), which is why the test did not catch the bug.

  P.S.: the error is only in the visual output of `mtaalias', not
        when expanding MTA aliases when sending mails.
