You could try to break the startup method using a script from the 
command line.

That is, write something like

Smalltalk removeFromStartUpList: MyClassThatInitializesTheDictionary.

in a script file and give the name of the file as a command line 
argument.

I'm not sure whether this will catch it in time (it depends on where 
in the start up list your class is with respect to the class that 
interprets startup scripts).
