Unexpected Hash Modification and Segmentation Fault with Named Arguments

Description

While experimenting with named arguments in Ruby 2.1.2, I encountered some strange behavior where a hash was modified after being passed as a set of named arguments with the double-splat operator. While attempting to examine the issue further, I encountered a segmentation fault which I believe to be related.

I have attached a log of my experiment, and a .rb file which reproduces both the unexpected hash modification and the segfault.

Hmm... that doesn't really seem like the same issue (it has totally different symptoms from what I described here) but I'll trust your judgement on this one.

2.1.2p132 segfaults by your script, due to the access to the non-Hash object as a Hash object.
r46342 fixes it to return the converted result.
