PSPP-BUG: [bug #21061] Inserting a variable confuses the dictionary on save.

[John Darrington]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #21061 (project pspp):

I had a look at this.  parse_write_command ( in get.c ) recognises this as a
potential problem, and correctly tries to handle it by setting up a case_map
and translator.

The problem is that first it calls dict_clone.  Unfortunately dict_clone
doesn't preserve case indices. Consequently, the case_map is all wrong.

I hacked up this patch, which changes dict_clone to preserve the
case_indices.  It fixes the problem, but causes 4 other tests to assert in
dict_delete_var 

Perhaps there's a better solution.
