Hi,
script below, current git: why the second loop crashes?

I'm getting an error on the second loop but no crash. Did you really
mean "crash" (segfault or otherwise halted by the OS).
Anyway, the condition provoking the error in the second case was a
kinda subtle internal thing, to do with the fact that setting a
bundled object directly to "null" is how the statement "delete
bun.key" is implemented. But that internal thing should not interfere
with your formulation above, and that's now fixed in git.
