con_do_clear_unimap() currently decreases and increases refcount of old
dictionary in a back and forth fashion. This makes the code really hard
to follow. Decrease the refcount only if everything went well and we
really allocated a new one and decoupled from the old dictionary.
I sincerelly hope I did not make a mistake in this (ill) logic.
