Sometimes when dumping a large dictionary, some stray "--" are generated.

The dictionary of type (string -> list). Example output:

- icco
- oecd
- un
--- - iea
- eca
- adb-africa
- adb-asia

I can provide a test case that cases the error on my machine, mail me.

yaml.load appears to be really (really) slow on large input. My string is

Both the input and output are fairly simple. Why does it take a long time to parse?
