ssdt plugin caching is broken about volatility

also, I further figured out it was the cache b/c if I deleted ssdt.pickle 
between runs it ran fine

Ok, I'll look into this problem when I get some spare time.  Could you please 
try the ssdt caching against an XPSP2 image and see if the problem is present 
there as well?

So it turned out that when the cache was called flatten_generators() was used 
to convert the generators into lists. The way it determined if something needed 
to be flattened was to call iter(item).

Dicts however also have a iterator so it was flattening the dict into a list 
(of the dict keys). When trying to use the cache it then tried to index it as a 
list but the keys were longs. We would have got an index error in any case.

I just committed to experimental - Mike can you merge to rc1 please.

Ok, thanks for the fix scudette!  5:)

It's now checked in to rc1 with some tweaks, so that the contents (and keys) of 
the dicts are also flattened.  I also changed the type calls to isinstance 
calls, so that dict-descended objects will be flattened correctly (just in case 
people ever decide to pass those through).
